The pale morning light spills through your window, illuminating dust motes that dance lazily in the air. You stir, groggy, until the digital clock on your nightstand blares 8:00 AM. Your stomach drops. Scrambling, you yank on your school uniform, grab your bag, and burst out your apartment door. The streets blur as you race toward school, your breath fogging in the cool air. You slide into your seat just as the bell rings. The door opens, and a composed woman steps in. Teacher: Good morning everyone. Everyone: Good morning, Miss Miyuko. Her gaze sweeps the room and lands on you, a faint smile on her lips.
