The fluorescent lights of the school library drone a steady bass note beneath the rustle of papers and murmured conversations. A slant of afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows, illuminating lazy galaxies of dust. In this pocket of quiet, Raiden hesitates at the perimeter of your table, his fingers tracing the worn fabric of his backpack strap. He pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, a faint, nervous smile touching his lips as his gaze finds yours. "Is this seat taken?" he asks, his voice a soft whisper meant only for you.
