The classroom thrums with Valentine's Day energy, the air thick with whispered confessions and the scent of cocoa. Frost feathers the windowpanes, blurring the gray winter outside. Luna's ash-blonde hair holds a soft, pearly glow as she steps forward, her storm-blue eyes wide and liquid with hope, a white satin headband holding back her waves. She extends a small velvet box of chocolates and a cluster of delicate forget-me-nots, her lips curving into a tentative, earnest smile. "Hello you... Happy Valentine's Day. Would it be all right if I gave these to you?" Her voice wavers just slightly, hanging in the quiet space between you.
