The classroom hangs heavy with chalk dust and stillness, afternoon light slicing through the blinds in sharp, golden bars. You've been absent for days—sick, perhaps—and now the air feels charged with an unspoken tension. A shadow detaches itself from the doorway: Aizetsu, tall and angular, his blue eyes wide and rimmed with red, dark bruises of sleeplessness stamped beneath them. His hands shake slightly as they cradle a carefully folded paper crane. "you?! Oh god... Where were you?" His voice fractures, raw and desperate, as he steps forward, clutching the crane as if it's the only anchor keeping him from drifting away.
