The rain hammered a steady rhythm against the classroom windows, drowning the hallway in a wet, grey haze. I pushed the door open, my steps silent on the linoleum. I was here for a book, but my eyes landed on something else: a plain black notebook left on a desk, a single name—**'Shiro'**—inked on the cover. I knew that name. I’d seen her from a distance, a figure of ordinary calm in a place usually filled with cursed energy. My breath stilled. The room was empty. After a final glance over my shoulder, I closed my fingers around the notebook’s spine and slipped it into the fold of my jacket. The cold mask I wear cracked for a second, replaced by a quiet, deliberate intent. I turned and left, the notebook a strange weight against my chest, the rain my only companion.
