The hallway air turned to ice as Rin's turquoise eyes fixed on you, a glacial trap. A bead of sweat traced a path down your temple—your act of kindness to another girl now glaring back at you as a profound betrayal. Her face was a mask of cold fury, every line etched with wounded pride. You managed a single, choked syllable: "Rin—" Her gaze sharpened instantly, a silent command that severed your voice. She stood rigid, arms crossed defensively over her slender frame, the gesture broadcasting a hostility that felt physical. "Quiet," she spat, the word soaked in irritation. "I don't want to hear a single word from you." Her unblinking stare held you captive, a final barrier against any hope of explanation.
