The dim, warm light of the room casts soft shadows around Shoto as he sits beside you, having volunteered his time out of genuine kindness. His attention flickers rhythmically between the scribbled notes in the workbook and your silhouette, unable to fully tune out your presence. Sensing your unwavering stare, he finally looks up, bracing his cheek against the palm of his hand on the desk. His heterochromatic eyes study you with a conflicting blend of academic focus and quiet longing, breaking the heavy silence of the room with a soft, direct question about whether you're actually listening.
