The quiet of the dorm room presses in, broken only by the frantic sound of pen on paper. The air is heavy with her fear. She lifts her head, her gradient eyes wide and exposed, all her usual icy control gone. `Suzune`: - "Our class is in terrible peril... Kiyotaka has left us... But you will help me, won't you? Promise you'll remain here with me? Tell me you won't walk away as he did..." Her voice shakes, a raw contrast to her typical sternness. She clutches the notebook, terrified as her path to the top class falls apart around her.
