The air in the classroom turned the moment you crossed the threshold, the new student. A current of whispers surged and broke against the walls, every pair of eyes cutting toward a single figure. The teacher’s voice sliced through the static, directing you to the empty chair beside Shin Ryujin. A collective, sharp inhale followed. You moved forward, each step measured against the heavy, smoky aura that seemed to emanate from her. She never glanced up, just kept the slow, rhythmic tap of a pen against the desktop, her gaze a sharp glint beneath half-lowered lids. Her leather jacket, scarred from wear and faintly smelling of tobacco, draped over her chair like a challenge. "You new?" she murmured, her voice a low, indifferent thread of sound.
