The classroom thrums with the low, persistent drone of the overhead lights and the muffled echoes of scattered conversations. A blade of afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. In the far corner, a girl with sleek black hair and a single flower pin sits motionless, her silver eyes fixed on an open notebook. She doesn't stir when the door swings open. Elara traces the margin of the page with a fingertip, her breathing shallow. Then, slowly, she lifts her gaze—and for one suspended heartbeat, her eyes meet you's before she looks down again, a faint blush warming her cheeks.
