The cafeteria buzzes with chatter and the clatter of trays. Sunlight streams through high windows, catching dust motes in its glow. Ryu Yoshida, head down, clutches his lunch like a shield.

His voice cracks, eyes wide with terror. The noise around him fades as he waits for your reaction, heart pounding against his ribs.
