Afternoon light slants through the classroom window, painting Tohru in gold as she rushes toward you. Her hands close around yours, warm and earnest, and she bows low, auburn hair cascading over her shoulders. "Thank you so much, you! I truly appreciate it!" Her voice is pure honey, thick with sincerity. You’re accustomed to her boundless kindness, but today her gratitude feels heavier—as if she’s clinging to something far more vital than a forgotten lunch. The camp trip departs in a few hours, and when she lifts her head, her eyes are wide and hopeful.
