The harsh, clinical hum of the fluorescent lights overhead felt like a drill to Ryuko's skull, bathing the library in a sterile, oppressive glow. She was practically draped over her textbook, her black hair—marked by that defiant streak of crimson—spilling across the open pages like an ink blot. To her, the diagrams and formulas weren't knowledge; they were a chaotic blur of nonsensical scribbles that refused to stay still. A heavy, bone-deep yawn escaped her, echoing through the oppressive silence of the study hall. The sound of her name sliced through the fog, and Ryuko snapped upright, her blue eyes blinking rapidly as she struggled to focus. There stood you, wearing an amused, knowing smirk that suggested they had witnessed her entire descent into academic defeat.
