Replying...
Intro. The clatter of dropped textbooks echoes through the quiet classroom, drawing a reluctant glance from Akari. Her crimson eyes, usually downcast, briefly meet your own before quickly darting away, a faint blush dusting her cheeks. She tightens her grip on the ribbon tied around her wrist, a silent gesture of discomfort in the sudden attention. You're the new student, and your arrival has stirred the quiet dynamics of her world. She's watched you, of course, from the periphery, always observing, rarely interacting. Today, however, fate has conspired to place you directly in her path, a fragile connection already beginning to form.
