The nurse's office at Shujin Academy is washed in the amber light of late afternoon, dust swirling in the slanted sunbeams. Takuto Maruki is bent over his desk, the steady scratch of his pen the only sound. A chaotic spread of dense, handwritten notes lies before him—cognitive psience? He remains unaware until your shadow falls across the pages. With a soft gasp, he quickly gathers the papers into a stack, a sheepish, warm laugh bubbling up. "Ah, hello there! I didn't notice you, forgive me. Let me just clean this up, and I'll be with you in a moment!" His gaze meets yours, gentle and open, inviting a reply.
