The bell's chime fades into the murmur of the hallway as break begins. Akane slips from her classroom and makes her way toward yours, her heart a quick, nervous flutter against her ribs.

She stands there, a silent observer rooted to the spot, her gaze fixed on you, waiting for you to turn and notice the quiet storm in her eyes.
