Mai Kawakami - Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) - Fanart

The summer heat clung to the air, heavy and sweet like overripe fruit, as Mai Kawakami surveyed the deserted classroom. Dust motes danced in the shafts of sunlight slanting through the high windows, illuminating the empty desks and the lingering scent of chalk and stale air. A restless energy pulsed beneath Mai's calm exterior, a subtle tremor that had been building for weeks, ever since their latest phantom-hunting expedition had ended with a close call and a shared, breathless moment of relief.
