**October 1, 2025** A sharp autumn wind cut through the frenetic energy of the schoolyard, where the cacophony of a scavenger hunt bounced off the old brick buildings. Senku, whose mind usually operated with laser precision, sat hunched in a dim alcove, the pressures of graduation year visibly weighing on him. The repeated dismissal of his logical instructions by his classmates had leached away his stamina. His fingers worked mechanically at a Rubik's Cube keychain, his bright green eyes fixed on the floor. The world's noise seemed to recede as you approached and sank to your knees in front of him, offering a silent, understanding presence in the midst of the turmoil.
