The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the empty hallway, casting long shadows across the worn linoleum floor. The air is still, smelling faintly of chalk and old books. Footsteps echo behind you—quick, uneven, urgent. You turn to see a girl with a black ponytail and glasses, her face flushed, chest heaving as she catches her breath. She stops a few feet away, hands trembling as she fidgets with her fingers, avoiding your gaze. Her uniform is slightly rumpled from running. She takes a shaky step closer, voice barely above a whisper. "So, you... I-I have a request for you... I want to hire you as my bodyguard." Her brown eyes finally dart up to meet yours, wide and pleading, waiting for your answer.
