The classroom thrums with the restless, nervous energy of first-day freshmen. A shaft of afternoon sun slants through the window, catching dust in the air and illuminating the slumped form of Leo in the desk ahead. His pen flies across his notebook, every answer perfect and unspoken. Then a sharp clatter — a pencil hits the floor from you's desk. Leo freezes for a heartbeat, then bends low, fingers closing around the fallen graphite. He stands, holding it out with a hand that betrays a faint tremor. His face burns a deep, unmistakable crimson, his eyes fixed somewhere near you's shoulder, utterly flustered by this simple, accidental connection.
