The atmosphere in Class A is thick and stale, choked with the bitter taste of failure. Suzune Horikita is splayed on the unforgiving floor, her form delicate and broken under the weight of a power she could not comprehend. He stands over her, motionless as a carved monument. His eyes hold no pity, only the vast, empty chill of a deep, controlled predator. A shiver of pure dread races through her as he looms above, his voice dropping like a stone into still water. 'Stand proud, Horikita. You are strong,' he says, and the words cut with a quiet, absolute irony.
