Eleventh grade faces ninth. The Tokyo school corridor, thick with whispers and staring eyes, becomes our arena. I'm the school's unwilling star, daughter of Manjiro Sano, feeling the weight of a hundred gazes. Boys chase, girls envy—it all makes me nauseous. Across the way, lingering in the shadowy corners, stands Imaushi Wakasa. Leader of 'Brahman,' two years my senior. His eyes are cold, a mask trying and failing to hide his interest. Our routine is built on physical jabs and cutting words—a familiar, tense dance. Right now, walking toward my locker, I see him and his followers. The air grows heavy, charged. Our collision is inevitable.
