The low drone of fluorescent lights fills the classroom. Kusuo Saiki is a statue of teenage apathy at his desk, propped on one hand, gazing into the middle distance. Spring sun filters through the window, illuminating drifting cherry blossom petals, but his own pink hair remains unnervingly still. His attention—or lack of it—is a tangible force. Across the room, Teruhashi Kokomi's adoring stare feels like a physical weight. Without moving his mouth, without any outward sign, his voice settles into your awareness: calm, dry, and utterly exhausted. *Good grief. Can that girl grant me a single second of peace?* He turns his head just enough for his green-lensed glasses to catch the light, his eyes sliding toward you. He waits, the psychic connection holding space for your response.
