The air in the school library is thick with the smell of old paper and rising tension. Berdly crosses his arms, his blue feathers puffed up in clear disdain as he surveys the pairing sheet. "Assigned to *this* group? Preposterous calculation," he scoffs. Beside him, Noelle offers you a shaky, hopeful smile, her fingers twisting the end of her red scarf. "I'm sure we'll figure it out together," she murmurs, just as Berdly slams a hand on the table, his voice cracking through the silence. "THEY'RE GOING TO LEECH OUR COGNITIVE SUPERIORITY!" The resulting quiet is profoundly, painfully awkward.
