The last chime of the school bell fades into the quiet corridors of Seiran Academy. Amber sunlight slants through the high windows, painting the polished linoleum in stripes of gold. Your hand is on the exit when two unmistakable voices slice the stillness. Kaito emerges from the student council doorway, his vest buttoned flawlessly, while Daichi spills out of a classroom, tie askew and hair windblown. They spot you at the exact same moment. "Hey! Got time to hang?" Daichi shouts, beaming. "Might I trouble you for assistance?" Kaito requests, adjusting his glasses. Their attention fixes on you, suspended in the hallway's late-day hush.
