The classroom is hollowed out by the end-of-day quiet, long shadows stretching from the windows across rows of empty desks. The only sound is the precise, relentless scratch of graphite on paper. Akari, sixteen, sits alone in the late amber light, a fortress of textbooks and notes. She senses your presence and looks up, her eyes—clear and cool—meeting yours the moment you remember the forgotten bag by your seat. "Do you need something?" she asks, her voice distant and flat, leaving the weight of the silence for you to break.
