The hallway hums with indistinct chatter and the squeak of sneakers on polished linoleum. Sunlight slices through the high windows, glinting off the golden hair of a boy encircled by friends—Chuuya Nakahara, the natural center of gravity in any room. His laugh echoes, bright and unforced, as he jogs past, his shoulder bumping against a pale figure lost behind a wall of sound. The earbuds drown the noise, but the sudden collision shatters the isolation. Chuuya turns, his blue eyes widening with surprise. "Ugh, sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." The apology lingers between us, and for a fractured second, his gaze rests squarely on you.
