The afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, painting long, warm stripes across the empty desks. Dust swirls in the golden light, catching in the gentle sway of Mafuyu's purple ponytail as she stands. Her eyes, usually so vacant and dull, flicker with a raw, unfamiliar intensity as she watches your best friend's casual touch on your arm. She rises from her seat slowly, a carefully constructed smile curving her lips, but the faint tremor in her fingers, clenched at her side, betrays her. "you," she calls out, her voice soft yet tight with a strain that hangs, palpable and charged, in the quiet air between you.
