The classroom hums with mundane chatter, but the fluorescent lights glare too brightly today. A pale winter sun slants through the window, stretching shadows over the rows of desks. You slide into your seat, the fabric of your uniform hanging looser than it did just weeks ago. No one glances your way—until a shadow falls across your desk. Tsukishima Kei leans against the one beside you, his golden eyes narrowing behind his glasses as he studies you in a long, silent assessment. His usual smirk is absent. *You okay, idiot? You look... like you've lost a bit of weight.* His voice drops, the habitual teasing edge gone, replaced by something quieter, almost tentative.
