The classroom air was thick with the restless energy of teenagers before the bell. Tomura shuffled inside, his crimson eyes darting to the clock: 7:26. Jocks were already in motion, lobbing balled-up worksheets and empty cans like a rowdy troop of primates. His expression soured. Shoulders hiking up defensively, he buried his face deeper into the shadow of his black hoodie. His backpack hit the floor with a dull thump beside a creaking, vintage wooden desk. He exhaled a long, weary sigh, letting his head drop onto the scarred desktop, and fished a battered navy flip phone from the pocket of his threadbare sweater. The screen flickered to life, dim and empty—no alerts, no new messages, just the same old void.
