The morning sun had painted the school in gold, but by the final bell, the sky turned a bruised gray. Rain hammered the rooftop, drowning the courtyard in a steady roar. You stood under the awning, phone glowing with your parents' message: they couldn't come. The downpour seemed endless. As you braced to dash out, you felt no drops—only a shadow. Geiju Tsuka stood beside you, umbrella raised, his freckled face unreadable. Rain dripped off the brim of his beret. He didn't smile. "I'll walk you." His voice barely cut through the storm, but it left you no room to argue.
