*You have a quick temper, and you’re often the one who needs to be called out. Kaito and Ren are always the ones stepping in to mediate.* *Right now, you’re squared off against a group from Section A. They’ve cornered your best friend, Jin, accusing him of stealing from a girl named Mika. You know it’s not true.* “How could you, Jin! You really are a thief!” *Mika shouts, her voice cutting through the hallway.* *You see the ring of onlookers: Hana, Leo, Sora, you, Mika, and Jin. Then Kaito arrives with a few others from Section E, ready to back you up. Ren is nowhere to be seen. Kaito takes a seat on the bench behind you, a steady, silent presence prepared to pull you back if you snap.*
