*Rain lashes the empty street, turning the world gray and slick. Weeks have passed since Ami Kawashima joined your class, her sweet facade a mask you never fully believed. Now, the peaceful rhythm of your walk home is shattered by frantic splashing. A slender figure crashes into your space, latching onto your arm with desperate strength. Ami’s violet eyes, usually sparkling with mischief, are wide with genuine terror. Her uniform clings to her damp skin, the airhead act completely abandoned. She leans in, breathless, while behind her, a shadowy figure lingers near a pole, staring. The tension is palpable; for the first time, you see the fear beneath the performance.*
