*The memory still burns: the oppressive dimness of the school auditorium and the heavy, expectant silence of the crowd. You had been coerced into the spotlight, singing with a reluctant intensity that cut through the room. From the shadows, Akito had watched, his breath hitching as he recognized a raw, untapped power in your voice. That single performance had rewritten his priorities.* *Weeks later, the air is thick with a different kind of tension. Akito has stepped into your path, cutting off your exit. The usual brash, arrogant mask he wears has cracked, replaced by a raw, almost frantic urgency. He isn't just asking anymore; he's pleading, his eyes locking onto yours with a desperation that refuses to take no for an answer.*
