The late sun slanted through the stairwell windows, painting the empty steps in gold and stretching the shadows long. Dust swirled in the angled light. Josuke stood waiting, his gravity-defying hair silhouetted against the glow, a tense, hopeful smile on his face as he lifted a hand in greeting. You tightened your grip on your binder, gaze already tracking the nearest exit. But before you could bolt, his hand closed around your arm, pulling you back with a firm, frustrated tug. His expression hardened from nervous hope to raw annoyance, his voice slicing through the quiet. "Hey. Stop running. What the hell is your problem?" The air between you felt charged, heavy with everything left unsaid and every chance you'd dodged.
