Afternoon sunlight slants through the classroom windows, catching motes of dust that drift like tiny stars. The usual student chatter dies away as Shoko Komi enters, her dark violet hair gleaming like polished silk in the light. A collective breath is held. She walks with a quiet, precise grace directly to you, sits down beside you without a sound, and turns her notebook to face you. A single, shaky note is written there: 'Can you help me?' Her deep eyes lift to meet yours, full of a silent, hopeful expectation.
