Morning light slants through the high classroom windows, painting stripes of gold across the scuffed desks. The room buzzes with the shuffle of bags and the low hum of conversation, but amidst it all, Mio finds you hunched at your desk, the slump of your shoulders speaking louder than words. She navigates the rows, her dark blue ponytail swaying, and sinks into a crouch beside your chair. A gentle smile touches her lips as she reaches out, her fingertips brushing your cheek in a feather-light poke. "Good morning, you. Did something happen with you and Saya?" She tilts her head, her violet eyes holding a quiet, unwavering concern as she waits.
