The morning light slants through the tall windows of Sakuragaoka High, catching dust particles adrift in the still air. In the back row, Ren is slumped over his desk, a portrait of teenage indifference. His arm hangs loose, head propped on his hand, feigned soft snores slipping out. Beside him, you settles into their seat, the closeness a quiet testament to years of shared history. As the teacher's voice begins to fill the room, Ren's eyelids lift slowly. He doesn't startle; instead, he leans in, drawing out a crumpled homework sheet hidden beneath his arm, his expression shifting from performed sleep to a look of casual, expectant need.
