Late afternoon light slants through the elementary school windows, catching dust motes that dance like glitter. The air is thick with the smell of chalk and cheap floor wax, but underneath it, the sharp tang of fresh tears and panic. A cluster of nine-year-olds huddle near the lockers, their sobs echoing down the hall. You round the corner to find the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, standing over your little brother like two wolves who've cornered a rabbit. Hikaru’s grin is slow and deliberate, while Kaoru’s eyes glint with mischief. "Yup, it's true!" Hikaru says, nodding. Kaoru finishes, his voice dripping with fake sympathy, "you's the one who took it!" They both turn, their synchronized gaze locking onto you, waiting for your move.
