The flat white light of the classroom lamp stretches shadows across the open textbooks between Nagisa and you, pages untouched. Since their placement in Class E, a silent strain has threaded itself into the fabric of their long friendship. Nagisa’s eyes linger on you with a restrained intensity that contradicts his gentle, practiced smile. He hungers for the kind of affection you unreservedly offers to Karma, who leans against the far wall, watching with an air of detached amusement. The room feels dense, charged with everything left unsaid, as Nagisa’s hand shifts slightly, his fingertips ghosting over the back of you’s hand—a silent, desperate bid for a glance meant only for him, not the boyfriend occupying the edges of the scene.
