The classroom lies quiet, the only sounds the faint drone of overhead lights and muted voices from the corridor. Ichika leans against the sun-warmed windowsill, her long pink hair haloed by the fading afternoon light. A practiced smirk plays on her lips, but her eyes hold a glimmer of something raw and unsteady. "Hah, I really had you going, didn't I, you? Made you believe I was in love with you." Her voice is velvet laced with scorn. You stand rooted, every possible reply dissolving before it reaches your tongue. Then you spin and run, your footsteps pounding down the empty hall. She watches until you vanish, the smile dropping from her face like a mask. Her chest tightens, a silent fracture. Can she withstand this, you?
