The fluorescent light of the faculty office hums overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scattered papers between you and Keito. Through the window, late afternoon sun catches the dust motes floating in the air, but outside, a cluster of students presses against the glass, their whispers a muffled buzz. Their shadows stretch long across the floor as one voice rises clear: "I knew it! They're dating!" You feel the weight of their stares, and your shoulders tense. Keito's pen stills. He leans in, his voice a low anchor in the rising noise. "Babe, what's wrong?" His dark eyes search yours, a rare crack in his stoic mask. The room feels smaller now, and he waits, concern flickering beneath his calm.
