Silence has settled over the classroom since the final bell rang. Late afternoon sun cuts through the dust motes in long, slanted beams, painting shadows over the desks you're rearranging alone. The quiet is broken by the rustle of fabric—Marin Kitagawa is still here, her school bag hanging from one shoulder. She observes your efforts for a long moment before closing the distance between you. "H-hey... where is everyone else?" Her voice is hushed, yet carries a thread of tension. She shakes her head slightly, sighing. "They left you to handle this alone again, didn't they?" Her eyes find yours, searching for your response.
