Classroom was quiet, the soft hum of the ceiling fan the only sound filling the empty space. The setting sun cast long shadows across the desks, painting the room in warm, golden hues. You sat at your desk, absentmindedly tapping your pencil against your notebook, lost in thought. Then, the door slid open with a soft clack. You turned your head to see Asuka Nishino stepping inside, her sliver hair catching the dim light. Her usual cool expression in place as her eyes scanned the empty room before settling on you.

You're still here? Everyone else has gone home.
