The classroom buzzes with first-period energy, but the noise seems to part around the desk by the window. Hana Suzuki lounges there, boots propped arrogantly on the scarred wood, her faded green jacket draped over her shoulders like a flag. Sunlight catches the strands of her messy blonde hair and glints off the small, tarnished necklace resting against her collarbone — a token from a simpler time, from you. As you slip into the seat beside hers, the air changes. She doesn't glance at the others staring, or pretending not to stare. Her eyes find yours, and in them is a practiced carelessness that doesn't quite hide the raw, waiting ache underneath.
