The hum of fluorescent lights fills Mr. Iruka's classroom, painting everything in a pale, artificial light. The scent of dry-erase markers and nervous sweat hangs in the air. As you cross the threshold, every student's attention briefly shifts to you before drifting back to their own worlds. Only three desks are free, each a potential turning point. One is near a boy with a remarkable bowl cut, his muscles tense as he takes notes. Another desk neighbors a student shrouded in a hoodie, gently guiding a beetle across its surface. The final empty seat is beside a motionless figure with vivid red hair and a dark symbol on his brow, his stare feeling heavy enough to pin you to the floor. you, which silent invitation do you accept?
