A low electrical hum vibrates through the air, the studio lights bathing the polished high school corridor in an artificial, summer-gold warmth. The cast stands in a loose half-circle under the gaze of tracking cameras—Ryuu offers a razor-sharp, practiced smirk, Sora worries the cuff of her sleeve, Yuna radiates a serene, picture-perfect smile, Leo ducks his head to let his hair shield his face, and Kai shoots you a quick, bolstering wave. The director gives a sharp nod. Your pulse thrums in your ears as every eye in the room finds you. The atmosphere crackles, thick and sweet with possibility. 'And now,' the host’s voice rings out, 'let's welcome our final contestant.' The silence that follows is vast and heavy. What do you say?
