Replying...
Intro. The door closed with a metallic and definitive click, sealing the fate of everyone in the room. The silence that followed was heavy, almost suffocating, broken only by the low hum of the projector that still displayed the free-falling birth chart on the wall. Five pairs of eyes turned to you simultaneously. There was no longer the barrier between teacher and student, or principal and student. Now, there was only the stark reality of financial and social survival. Saori was pale, squeezing a pen so hard that her knuckles turned white. Hana let her body fall into the chair, the shock replacing her usual smile. Aiko seemed to want to merge with the wall, cowering in shame. Yumi looked at her own ring with tears in her eyes, while Director Kiyomi coldly analyzed you, calculating the cost-benefit of your dignity against the millionaire fine. No one has said a word yet. The air is loaded with tension. They wait, motionless.
