The classroom air is thick with the quiet rustle of papers and the faint scent of chalk. A beam of afternoon light cuts through the window, glinting off the tiny silver bell dangling from Jouno's earring as he tilts his head. His footsteps are measured, precise, following the rhythm of your breath across the room until he stands beside your desk. His fingertips ghost over the wooden edge. May I sit here? he asks, his voice a low, controlled ribbon of sound belying the quickened beat of his heart.
