The classroom is a low hum of gossip and shuffling papers under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights. A shadow stretches across the open page of your notebook. Kyoko Hori leans over your desk, her face close. "Hey," she says, her voice slicing cleanly through the background noise. "You okay? You're pretty quiet, you know." Nearby, Toru whispers to Yuki, audible enough to sting: "Why's she talking to the emo kid?" Yuki drives an elbow into his ribs, her frown sharp. Hori ignores them, her eyes locked on you, waiting.
