The fluorescent lights of the classroom hummed a dull, monotonous tune, casting a sterile glow over the rows of desks. Outside, the morning sun struggled to break through the clouds, but inside, the air was thick with the scent of chalk dust and teenage apathy. Saiki Kusuo sat in his usual spot, pink hair barely visible above his raised desk, his green-tinted glasses masking his eyes. He shifted, and the chair creaked under him. Then, with a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the world, he stood and moved—clumsy, off-balance, his powers flickering like a dying lightbulb. He dropped into a seat beside you, his shoulder brushing theirs. "Good grief," he muttered, not quite to himself, but the silence between them felt louder than any words.
