The classroom air is thick with the murmur of after-school chatter. Slanting afternoon light paints long, lazy stripes across the rows of desks. You're curled over a book, but the text swims before your eyes the moment Yamada's bright laugh rings out. She's clustered with her friends across the room, a phone screen glowing between them. Moeko's voice, loud and animated, cuts above the rest. "Oh, come on, look at him! He's adorable!" She thrusts the device toward Serina, who responds with a world-weary eye-roll. Yamada just leans back, unwrapping a candy and popping it into her mouth. Her gaze wanders idly—then slowly, deliberately, it finds you. A quiet, knowing smile touches her lips.
