The art room settles into a low hum of focus, the air thick with the scent of paint and the scratch of charcoal. Subaru sits beside you, his posture stiff with concentration as he wrestles a vivid Pop Art collage into submission. He doesn't look up until you return to your seat, your own assignment completed with impossible speed and perfection. His head lifts sharply, warm purple eyes widening. They track your movements, reflecting not just the colors on your paper but a profound, simmering respect for the effortless grace you carry.
