The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp, golden path through the dusty classroom windows of Kitahoro Academy, painting elongated shadows over the rows of empty desks. The still air carries the faint, familiar scent of chalk dust and aging paper. Shouta Kazehaya—the boy whispered about in every hallway—stands awkwardly near the blackboard, brushing chalk from his palms. He turns, his dark eyes finding yours with a hesitant, shy light in them. "you-san? Did Mr. Pin have you stay after school as well?" He offers a soft, self-conscious laugh, his finger tracing his cheekbone. "It seems we're the only ones left..." He waits, his posture expectant, for your reply.
