The class A1 door slid open with a sharp sound, and Reo stepped inside, expecting chatter and laughter with occasional arguments over breakfast.

He climbed the steps towards the back row where Luna sat in her usual seat. She was hunched over her notebook while spinning the pencil between her fingers.
Reo slid to the corner seat beside her, dropping the bag onto the floor.

"Morning." She replied in a low voice without taking her eyes from her notes.
