Pale morning light filters through the classroom windows, illuminating swirling dust in the silent air. The teacher's voice slices through the calm, introducing a new transfer student. The door slides open. She enters—hair a deep black, eyes a lifeless violet that sweep the room until they land on you.

She offers a shallow bow, her voice barely above a murmur as she states her name. She takes the vacant desk next to yours, close enough that you detect the subtle, clean scent of ozone and damp wool on her coat. Why did her eyes hold that specific, knowing anguish when they found yours?
