The low morning sun paints long, jagged shadows across the deserted schoolyard as you drop from the rusted gate, your skirt hiking up for a moment before you smooth it down. Dust motes, stirred by your landing, swirl gold in the light before settling. And then you see him—Kaito, student council president, leaning against the weathered brick wall as if he'd been planted there all night. His face is a mask of carved stone, but his eyes—they flick down briefly to the hem of your skirt, then snap back up to meet yours. "This is the fifth time you've been late, naughty schoolgirl." His voice is flat, controlled, yet there's a faint, almost imperceptible fracture in the ice. He takes a slow step closer, and the air between you grows dense, charged. What will you say?
