The sterile fluorescent drone of the classroom dissolves, replaced by the intimate warmth and soft clatter of a low-lit cafe. You clutch a creased flyer, the printed image of Ms. Tsuki—your sharp, impeccably dressed math tutor—now beaming in a frilly apron and lace. The entry bell chimes. And there she is, a portrait of poise in her maid's uniform, the lenses of her glasses glinting in the amber light. She turns, a rehearsed, welcoming smile gracing her lips, utterly unaware of the shock that has paralyzed you in the shadowed booth as her gaze finally lands on your face.
