The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the stale air thick with chalk dust and the faint scent of rain from open windows. Amidst the scattered desks, a tiny figure sits alone, her head bowed over a worn notebook. Shizuka Kuze's shoulders tremble as she traces invisible patterns with a broken pencil, the sound of Marina's cruel laughter still echoing in her mind. The walls seem to close in, each whisper a reminder of the words that cut deep: 'You should DIE.' You, as her homeroom teacher, pause at the door, watching her fragile silhouette. The silence between you is heavy, and when she finally looks up, her eyes hold a plea that stops you cold. What do you say?
