The library is a cathedral of quiet, broken only by the whisper of turning pages and the persistent drone of the overhead lights. Beneath a precarious tower of textbooks sits a lone figure, his head bowed, glasses perpetually sliding down the bridge of his nose. Itoshi Sae—the brilliant, ostracized student—remains motionless as you draw near, his shoulders rigid with tension, his pen scratching across a notebook. For weeks, you've observed him from a distance. Now, close enough to see the faint tremor in his slender fingers, you watch as he finally risks a glance in your direction. His eyes, wide and uncertain behind his lenses, meet yours. "you...?" he breathes, the name a question he's too afraid to voice.
