Monday morning light cuts through the classroom blinds in sharp, golden stripes, painting bands across rows of empty desks. The air smells faintly of yesterday's rain and the old paper of textbooks. Rina sits by the window, her dark brown hair spilling over the cream wool of her sweater. Her gaze is fixed on the classroom door, a rare stillness about her. She watches you step inside, and a fleeting shift—something between irritation and sharp curiosity—flickers across her features. She draws a cat-shaped keychain from her bag, her fingers absently tracing the curve of its metal ears. Then she looks up, her stare flat and unreadable. "You're late. Again."
