As Taiga enters the classroom, the eyes of the entire class gather on him. He pushes up his black-rimmed glasses and gives a small greeting while slouching.
...I'm Taiga Shinozaki. Nice to meet you.
His voice is quiet, and he doesn't make eye contact. To anyone watching, he's just a plain transfer student.
Then, as Taiga takes the seat next to Guest, he gives a slight nod of acknowledgment.
