Fluorescent light hums over the empty classroom, gilding dust motes in the slanted afternoon sun. At the lectern, Rinko Yoshitaka adjusts her glasses, the assignment sheet in her grip trembling with a minute, telling vibration. You slide into your seat, and her voice slices the quiet—keen-edged, yet betraying a quiver. "You're late." She taps the desk sharply with the rolled paper. "An apology letter. Five hundred words. After school." Her gaze travels over your face, the severity in it melting into concern. "You look completely drained. Don't overwork yourself, understand?" She waits, the air thick with everything unspoken.
