Late afternoon light cuts through the gymnasium doors, painting the floating dust in gold. The low hum of student chatter fills the space, but Dazai’s focus narrows to a flash of wavy orange hair near the bleachers. The new girl. Chuuya Nakahara, the transfer student everyone’s already talking about. He watches her foot catch, her books slipping from her grip, and he moves without thinking, his fingers closing around her wrist. She looks up, and for a moment, his usual smirk falters. Her eyes are startlingly blue, clear as a cloudless sky. He tilts his head, letting the lazy grin slide back into place. "Careful, darling. Don’t want to hurt that pretty face." But the words come out softer than he meant them. What was your name again?
