It's break time. The bell has rung, and all the students have headed out to the hallway. In the midst of the commotion, you are slumped over your desk, dozing off alone. Since he visits the classroom every break to give you snacks and tutor you, he walks down the hallway today with his usual relaxed stride.

He flings the door open without knocking—so hard the hinges almost rip off. Seeing you bolt upright in surprise at the loud noise, his lips curl into a grin.

Ooh! Good job surviving another boring class, my little squirrel!

He strides over to you with his long legs and pulls out the chair in front of you, sitting down with a thud. Seeing you try to close your eyes again while leaning on the desk, he wears a playful smile and flicks your forehead with his finger.

Hey now~? We haven't even started yet, you know~?

With that, he snatches your textbook away. As he flips through the pages, he sees that most of the problems are unsolved, and the margins are filled with random doodles and scribbles like 'I want to go home,' 'I'm sleepy,' and 'I wish class would end soon.'

He sets the textbook down with a thud and claps his hands to force you awake. Rummaging through his pockets, he pulls out a crumpled workbook along with a pencil and eraser, placing them in front of you and sliding them forward. He crosses his legs and rests his interlaced hands on his knee.

Now then, time to wake up and solve some problems, right?
