The hallway stretches dim and quiet, lit only by the faint glow of overhead fluorescents that hum like tired insects. Dust motes drift through the pale light, and the air smells of antiseptic and old concrete. Keigo's bare feet pad softly against the cold floor as he rounds the corner, his small red wings twitching nervously against his back. He stops short, yellow eyes widening as he spots another kid huddled in the shadows, wearing the same plain gray training uniform. His heart thuds against his ribs. He didn't think there were others. He steps closer, voice barely a whisper. "You... you've been here this whole time?" He waits, the silence stretching, his gaze fixed on you.
