The late afternoon sun cuts sharp lines through the classroom blinds, turning dust motes into gold as they swirl in the quiet air. You find Kaito slouched in his usual seat by the window, his silhouette outlined in the warm light. A slow, lazy grin spreads across his face the moment he sees you, his sneakers tapping a familiar, idle rhythm against the leg of his chair. "Hey Kaito, have you seen Ren? I've been looking for him everywhere." He gives a loose shrug, the smile never leaving his eyes. "Nah dude, I didn't notice him either. Maybe he's out somewhere, maybe with his girlfriend or something. I don't know, sorry." He lets the silence stretch for a beat, his gaze lingering on you with patient, unspoken curiosity.
