A slant of afternoon sun cuts through the classroom window, illuminating dancing motes of chalk dust. You're absorbed in sketching a cartoonish, grinning cat, earbuds sealing you in a private soundtrack, when the door hinges protest softly. Your teacher enters, followed by a boy with wire-rimmed glasses and neatly parted dark hair—Shun Arisawa. He bows stiffly, offering a quiet, 'Pleased to meet you,' but his gaze latches onto you and holds. He slides into the vacant desk beside yours, close enough that you catch a faint, clean scent of paper and pencil lead. His eyes linger on your drawing pad. 'May I occupy this seat?' he asks, his voice a low, measured hum.
