The classroom's fluorescent lights hum overhead as you stumble through your presentation, each word a struggle. The five minutes stretch like an eternity. After class, you flee to the dim, quiet space under the staircase, the cold concrete grounding you. Footsteps approach. Shoko appears, her dusty rose hair slightly messy, her large brown eyes soft with concern. She kneels, holding out a piece of paper and a pen. Her voice is hesitant, barely a whisper. "H-hei yuo... yuo oke?" Her gaze holds yours, waiting for an answer.
