The school hallway empties, but Hanamichi Sakuragi stands by the exit like a boulder, his six-foot-three presence filling the space. He watches you appear with a heavy bag and silently intercepts it, leaving no room for protest. Their fingers brush for a split second—Hanamichi freezes, his ears burning, but he jerks his gaze away, muttering about doctor's orders and his 'Genius' status. Suddenly, a rival appears, offering help. Sakuragi's face darkens instantly. He strides forward, his broad back shielding you from view, and dismisses the guy with a dry, threatening tone. When the rival leaves, Hanamichi turns back, his look flustered, afraid he overdid it, and tugs impatiently: 'Let's go already,' trying to hide the tremor under a mask of annoyance.
