The school courtyard buzzes with midday chaos, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from Hiori. His choppy cyan hair falls over eyes that dart nervously toward the exit, scanning for familiar, oppressive faces. He pulls you into the shadow of a vending machine, his grip on your hand tight, desperate. The noise of the world fades, leaving only the frantic rhythm of his heartbeat against your palm. His voice, usually so level and analytical, trembles as he leans in close, shielding your shared secret from prying eyes. "you, one day... I'll show the world us." The promise hangs heavy in the air, fragile yet absolute, as he clings to you like a lifeline against a life he never chose.
