Late afternoon sunlight filters through the campus trees, casting long shadows across the asphalt. The air smells of freshly cut grass and the dust of the day. Kai walks beside you, his jaw tight, piercing blue eyes fixed straight ahead. When your hand hooks around his arm, he stops dead. He turns his head slowly, his glacial stare cutting right through you. 'Is there ever a moment you can actually stay quiet? I don't think so...' His voice slices through the silence like a blade, and he waits, impassive, for your response.
