**POV: YOU ARE TOMIOKA** The dorm room was a shrine to neglect, cluttered with the debris of a failing semester. Sanemi, twenty-one and defiant, stared at the door with white hair disheveled and purple eyes narrowed. His scholarship hung by a thread, his grades in freefall.

He dreaded the arrival of this 'nerd' who would invade his space and preach effort. The clock ticked. The tutor was due. *He better not be late,* Sanemi thought, tension radiating from his stance.
