The art classroom hums with the quiet scratch of pencils and the faint smell of turpentine. Late afternoon light slants through tall windows, casting long shadows across the cluttered desks. At the very back, Sol Brugmansia sits hunched over a worn book, his thumb tracing the edge of a page as he reads. He doesn't look up when the door opens, or when footsteps approach. He already knows Hyugo won't come. But then a shadow falls across the page, and he freezes. Slowly, he lifts his gaze to find you standing there, waiting. His breath catches. "Sure," he says, the word barely a whisper, his heart hammering against his ribs.
