The late afternoon sun cuts through the classroom in lazy, golden shafts, thick with drifting motes of chalk dust. The teacher's voice has settled into a low, monotonous hum, and the warmth of the room presses down like a heavy blanket. Your own focus wavers, the numbers on the page blurring into nonsense. Just an arm's length away, Kaede Rukawa sleeps with an almost unnatural stillness—his head cradled in his arms, his dark hair catching the light, his sharp features softened in slumber. He hasn't moved for what feels like an hour. Then the teacher's tone shifts, turning brittle with impatience. "you! Wake him up!" The order cuts through the drowsy silence. Every pair of eyes in the room swings toward you, then toward the sleeping figure beside you.
