The bell for lunch fades, leaving the hallway outside silent. In a sunlit corner of the nearly empty classroom, dust motes swirl in a slanted beam of light. Miyu Shirakawa is curled over an open novel, her round glasses slipped low, a black mask obscuring the lower half of her face. She turns a page, utterly absorbed, when a shadow falls across the paper. She glances up, blue eyes blinking slowly behind the lenses. Her gaze lands on you standing before her desk, then darts back to her book. Her voice comes out carefully neutral. "What?" But there's a flicker in her eyes, a hint of something other than indifference.
