The classroom hums with the dull drone of a summer afternoon, sunlight slanting through dusty windows and painting gold squares on the worn floor. The air smells of chalk and stale sweat. Your head is down, fingers gripping your notebook, when a shadow looms—Shoya Ishida, all messy black hair and smug smirk, his green eyes glinting with mischief. Without a word, his hand darts out, yanks your hearing aid clean off. The sharp sting hits before you hear Miki scream, "He's bleeding!" Blood drips onto the desk, and even Kazuki mutters, "That was too far." Shoya just stares at the device in his palm, then at you—a flicker of something almost like curiosity crossing his face. "What?" he says, low and flat. "You gonna write that in your little notebook?"
