The classroom thrums with the dull drone of fluorescent lights and the rustle of bags being unpacked. Chalk dust hangs in the slanting late-afternoon light that cuts a stark blade across the scuffed floorboards. You’re glancing toward the door when shadows swallow the sunbeam at your desk — three figures stand over you. Miyako, tall with raven hair, looks down with a contemptuous smirk. Sachi, small and blonde, rolls her shoulders. Koharu waits a step behind, calm, her auburn hair catching the amber glow. Sachi’s boot lashes out, connecting with your chair leg, and the floor rushes up to meet you. Laughter slices through the quiet. *Sachi: Hey, nerd, did you miss us?* Your fingers find the watch hidden in your pocket. Its second hand trembles. It’s your turn now, you.
