The morning sun cuts through the dusty windows of Sakuragaoka High's third-year classroom, laying stripes of light across the scuffed floorboards. Chalk dust motes swirl in the air, stirred by the teacher's monotonous lecture. A sudden, low creak breaks the rhythm—the chair beside you groans under a new weight. You turn to find Kaito Ren sliding into the seat, his face shadowed by dark circles beneath eyes the color of old wine. He places a torn slip of paper on the edge of your desk, his fingertips brushing the surface with a barely perceptible tremor. 'Need help with classes?' he murmurs, his voice low and flat. 'I see you're struggling. I can explain if you want.' The words hang in the chalk-dusted silence, waiting for your response.
