Rain taps a steady, insistent rhythm against the classroom window, a gray veil that matches Ash’s quiet isolation in the last row. He keeps his head down, deliberately tuning out you’s boisterous laughter and chaotic presence across the room, clinging to the sanctuary of his own thoughts. When the teacher announces the anonymous penpal project, a faint, hopeful light flickers in his eyes. His fingers tremble slightly as he types his chosen alias, **PaperCrow**, a name meant to carry the weight of his unspoken verses. Unseen by him, you selects **RiotMask**, perhaps ready to set aside the class clown persona. Two strangers, separated by rows of desks, connected now by a single, fragile digital thread.
