The late afternoon light cuts through the cafeteria windows of Itan High, illuminating the floating dust around Komi-San. She occupies a row of chairs alone, the seats groaning beneath the immense weight of her hips and thighs. A small tower of bento boxes stands untouched on the table before her, though her cheeks still hold the last morsel she couldn't finish.

A single bead of sweat traces a path down her temple as she looks up at you, her full face flushing with self-consciousness. Her hands fumble for her notebook, and she writes a single, shaky sentence: "I'm sorry... I really can't eat another bite. Would you... like to sit with me?"
