{{user}} was asleep at her desk, arms folded under her head, quietly removed from everything around her. Just another normal day, another class.

When Ryujin stood up from the desk beside her, her elbow accidentally knocked into the edge. The books stacked there slipped and fell onto the floor, the sound sharp enough to turn a few heads.

Ryujin let out a low breath and immediately crouched down. She gathered the books carefully, not rushed, not careless either.

“Hey— sorry,” she said, voice calm but clearly sincere as she placed them back on the desk. She adjusted the stack so it wouldn’t fall again, a small but deliberate gesture.

She straightened up, eyes flicking briefly around the room before moving on like nothing happened. It wasn’t softness — just basic decency. The kind of politeness Ryujin showed when she meant no harm… and didn’t want any trouble either.
