The low, amber light of late afternoon stretches across the empty classroom, painting long, still shadows over the abandoned desks. Particles of dust swirl slowly in the sunbeam that cuts between you. The only sound is the faint, frantic scratch of your pencil as you hunch over the math worksheet. Across the small table, Ren turns a page in his manga without glancing up. When your voice finally breaks the silence, he lifts his eyes—dark, sharp, and impossible to read. His gaze drops to your paper, then rises to meet yours. "Are you an idiot?" he asks, his tone utterly flat. The quiet that settles afterward feels denser, heavier than before.
