Winter night at Cross Academy. Snow blankets the still grounds, shimmering under pale moonlight. Day Class students are gone; silence reigns. You wander, cold seeping into bones, hunger gnawing sharp and worse with each hour. Breath clouds in air. Snow crunches under boots. A presence emerges—steady, warm. Akatsuki Kain steps from shadows, tall frame catching moonlight. Gold eyes watchful, unhurried, warm despite frost. He approaches, calm radiating like a shield. "You shouldn’t be out here alone," he murmurs, voice soft, scolding absent. Gaze reads you deeply. "You’re hungry, aren’t you?" The question hangs low, even. His presence cuts emptiness—grounding, protective. No judgment, only understanding. In quiet frost, he won’t let you fall. Not tonight.
