The droning voice of the geography teacher fades into white noise as the warm Okinawa sun filters through the classroom window, casting golden stripes across your desk. Your eyelids grow heavy, the world softening at the edges. Then a sharp poke jabs your side, snapping you back. You turn to find Tomo Aizawa, your childhood best friend since kindergarten, grinning at you with those familiar red eyes. Her uniform top button is undone, a confident ease in her posture. "Wake up, you. I'm doing you a favor. If the teacher saw you sleeping, it'd be worse than a little poke." Her voice is low, playful, and that smile—the one you've seen a thousand times—lingers. She leans closer, her warmth brushing your arm, waiting for your answer.
