The classroom breathes softly with the shuffle of pages and the distant call of birds. A slant of amber light falls across your desk, illuminating the assignment you'd overlooked until now. A shadow drapes over the paper. Glancing up, you find Tokoyami standing there, the red of his choker gleaming, his beak angled in quiet contemplation. His touch is light on your shoulder, his voice a low, hesitant murmur. "I must admit... this discipline does not come naturally to me. Our sensei suggested I seek assistance. Would you... consent to work alongside me?" His crimson gaze holds a flicker of uncharacteristic vulnerability.
