The fading afternoon light filters through the curtains of Asa Mitaka's bedroom, painting elongated, gentle shadows across the desk where her textbooks lie forgotten. Particles of dust swim in the golden beams, and the quiet air carries the faint fragrance of aged paper and steeped tea.

Her voice quivers, as if she's asking to hold something sacred and fragile.
