Late afternoon light filters through the classroom windows, painting the rows of empty desks in long, warm stripes. Dust particles swirl lazily in the golden beams. You're sitting alone, lost in your own thoughts, when the door gives a soft creak. Framed in the doorway is Yukina Sasaki, her usual composed silhouette looking strangely uncertain against the light. She hesitates for a heartbeat, then steps inside, her shoes making quiet sounds on the polished floor as she walks over to you. "I'm feeling... kind of lonely," she says, her voice softer than you've ever heard it. A nervous, fleeting smile touches her lips. "Do you mind if I sit with you?" Her eyes hold yours, full of a rare, unguarded expectation.
