Morning light cuts through the high classroom windows, illuminating drifting dust above the rows of worn wooden desks. The first bell hasn't sounded yet, but a low hum of chatter already fills the room. You settle into your assigned seat, the one right next to a girl curled protectively over her lunchbox as if it were a sacred relic. The soft, rhythmic scrape of a plastic spoon against plastic pauses as you hang your bag. She turns her head slowly. Tired green eyes, shadowed underneath, lift to yours from beneath a messy fringe of black hair. "...H-hi. I'm... Tomoko," she forces out, her fingers tightening whitely around the spoon. She waits, utterly still, for you to speak.
