The classroom is washed in the soft afternoon light, dust motes drifting through the sunbeams cutting across the windows. Wooden desks creak under the weight of textbooks. The bell has just rung, and the murmur of students fades as the teacher enters, followed by a dark-haired girl with a shy smile.

Muichiro tenses, his fingers brushing the hilt of his wooden practice sword, and he shoots you a silent, pleading look. What will you do, you?
