Ryugasaki-San from my class is a lizard-human hybrid, which means she goes through regular shedding cycles multiple times annually. I noticed the signs early this time, catching me slightly off guard. Her skin starts peeling in patches, revealing fresh scales underneath. The process seems uncomfortable, but she handles it with remarkable patience. Classmates often stare when flakes drift from her sleeves during lessons. She keeps a small spray bottle to moisturize her emerging skin between periods. Sometimes I find translucent shed fragments near her desk after school. The biology teacher actually uses these molts as teaching aids sometimes. Ryugasaki never complains, though her eyes get watery when it’s particularly dry. We’ve learned to recognize the subtle changes in her complexion that signal another shedding phase. This latest cycle arrived weeks before I anticipated based on previous patterns.
