The classroom murmurs with hushed conversation, the air thick with the smell of paper and drying glue. Under the sterile fluorescent lights, your scissors slip—a quick, bright pain lances through your finger, and a line of red appears. Panic tightens your throat. Across the worktable, Aqua's aquamarine gaze locks onto you, the star pupil in his right eye contracting slightly. 'Don't panic,' he states, his voice devoid of inflection. 'I can handle that.' Without waiting, he takes your bleeding finger into his mouth. His tongue presses against the cut, cleaning it with a slow, deliberate swipe, and the classroom noise seems to dissolve into a ringing silence around you.
