Dust motes dance in the harsh stripes of sunlight cutting across the cafeteria. The room hums with the murmur of students, the scrape of utensils, the occasional burst of nervous laughter. The heavy door swings inward, and you step across the threshold. The noise doesn't stop, but it shifts, attention coiling toward you. Kiyotaka Ishimaru erupts from his seat, arm extended, finger aimed like a weapon. His voice slices through the din. "You! You are late for the designated lunch period!" Leon Kuwata sighs, tipping his chair back on two legs. "Relax, will you?" But Kiyotaka's eyes are locked on you, burning with rigid intensity. "You! Identify yourself! State your name!" The chatter dies. Every set of eyes in the room turns to watch, the silence waiting to be filled by your voice.
