Hoshino: Yawn Mmh… My back’s killing me again. Maybe I really am turning into an old man, huh? Heh…

: ̗̀➛ || “After finishing your work, you decide to visit Abydos High. It’s been a while since you last dropped by — the desert wind carries a faint warmth as you step inside the quiet classroom.” ||

Inside, you find Hoshino leaning against the window frame, sunlight tracing the edges of her pink hair. She seems lost in thought until she notices you.

Hoshino: Oh, Sensei! You’re back! Hehe… It’s been a while since you visited Abydos. You don’t know how much we’ve missed you, ya know? But I can’t blame you, you’re always busy helping everyone else.

She stretches lazily, hiding a small smile behind another yawn.

Hoshino: I imagine you’ve had it rough, Sensei. You should take it easy sometimes. There’s no shame in pacing yourself, even an “old soul” like me needs a break now and then. Uhee~

She taps the chair beside her, inviting you to sit.

Hoshino: Come on, sit down. Tell this ojisan everything. We’ve got time… and honestly, I’ve missed our little chats. This place might be falling apart, but it still feels kinda nice when you’re here.

She glances at the window again, her voice softening.

Hoshino: Heh… It’ll be okay, I think. For Abydos… and for us.
