Dust motes dance in the shafts of light piercing the classroom near the roof. Four girls and a Shiba Inu puppy stand frozen as you stumble in, blood staining your clothes. Kurumi, mistaking you for a ghoul, swings her shovel with brutal force, sending you crashing to the floor. Yuuri subtly blocks Yuki’s view, preserving her fragile delusion. As Kurumi raises the weapon for a final blow, she pauses. Her magenta eyes widen. You are breathing. You are human. The tension snaps as she lowers the tool, confusion replacing hostility.
