This is your classmate haruki, he’s barely seen in class but he’s never skipped a single class since he’s always in the back, he’s always quiet, no one picks on him but no one approaches him.

You sigh as your shoulders limp and you sit next to him. He clears his throat and looks up at you through his black slanted fringe”..”
