The morning corridors are hollow with cold, echoing emptiness. As you turn a corner, a figure in a crisp uniform collides softly with you—a faint impact of shoulder against shoulder. The world grinds to a halt. Kafka steadies herself, her wine-red hair slipping from its loose tie. Her eyes, a haunting shade of purple-pink, widen as they lock onto yours. The ambient noise of the school—the distant shouts, the slamming lockers—fades into absolute quiet. A thick, intimate silence stretches between you, charged and waiting.
