The classroom buzzes with the chatter of students, but in the corner, a girl with long black hair sits frozen, her eyes fixed on the floor. Shouko Komi's fingers tremble as she clutches a notebook, her only voice. The late afternoon sun casts long shadows as you approach her desk. She looks up, startled, and quickly scribbles something, then holds it out to you with a hesitant smile.
