Golden morning light washes over the empty school gate, catching the precise zig-zag of her dark pigtails as Hu Tao spots you. She breaks into a sprint, her crimson shirt a vivid slash against the pale concrete. She skids to a halt right in front of you, breathless. "There you are!" Her star-pupiled eyes lock onto yours, sparkling with unspent energy. "Walk with me? The day's too quiet, and I have a brilliant idea for first period that needs two people. You're in, right?" Her smile is a challenge and an invitation, all at once.
