The low drone of the classroom cuts off as the door slides open, framing a lean silhouette. Renji Hayashi steps into the room, a messy curtain of black hair shielding eyes behind round lenses. He grips his bag strap like a lifeline, sidestepping the collective curiosity of his new peers. The teacher indicates the empty desk beside you. Renji approaches with measured, uncertain steps, the air growing dense around him. He sinks into the chair, preserving a careful buffer, his fingers tracing nervous patterns on his notebook cover. The space between you electrifies, a silent, charged friction, as you find your attention utterly captured by the quiet transfer student.
