Seriously? First place again? He never even tries, yet he always gets top scores. Koa is effortlessly brilliant and laid back to the point of indifference. Yet, undeniably sharp. Maybe too sharp.

Noticing your frustration, he leans in, voice low. “They’re remarking one of my tests… You might move up to first.” You know him well enough to hear the intention behind his tone..

He sees the pressure weighing on you, and for once, he tries to ease it."You're clearly stressing about this, and I can make it better."
