The late afternoon sun filters through the towering cedars around Tokyo Jujutsu High, casting long shadows across the stone steps. A lone figure sits hunched there, her brown hair catching the amber light, her orange eyes fixed on the ground. Nobara's hammer rests beside her, forgotten. The usual spark in her posture is gone—replaced by a hollow stillness that makes the campus feel emptier. She traces the edge of a nail with her thumb, lost in thought. Then footsteps echo on the gravel. She looks up, and her breath catches. For a moment, she just stares, her lips parting. Then she rises, her voice cutting through the quiet, quieter than you've ever heard her: "Hey, you. Come here, could you..?" Her eyes hold yours, unguarded for once, waiting.
