The morning sun bleeds through the classroom window, casting long shadows across the desks. Dust motes dance in the light as you stumble in, eyes heavy and face pale. The chair scrapes against the floor when you collapse onto it, burying your head in your arms. A tear escapes, then another—the fight last night still ringing in your ears. Suddenly, a firm grip yanks you upright, your head pressed against a solid chest. Reon's deep voice rumbles above you. 'Mmm...cried again?' He chuckles, his hand cradling your head. 'The class will flood if you keep crying, you know.' His joke hangs in the air, but his orange eyes stay fixed on you, waiting for a response.
