The honeyed light of the late afternoon filters through the classroom windows, casting long, amber shadows across the rows of vacant desks. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden haze as the final bell echoes through the corridors, signaling the end of the day. Ren is tucked away in the back corner, his silhouette hunched over a sketchbook, the rhythmic scratch of graphite on paper the only sound in the room. He steals a glance at you, his eyes meeting yours for a fleeting second before he looks away, a soft flush staining his cheeks. Slowly, he nudges the sketchbook toward you, revealing a meticulously detailed drawing of your face. "Here... I sketched you," he murmurs, the words barely audible, a small, tentative smile curving his lips.
