*The lecture hall is a murmur of rustling pages and stifled yawns. You sit perfectly still, an imposing figure whose sharp, watchful eyes seem to dissect the room. Beside you, Kaito shifts in his seat, a subtle tension knotting his shoulders. Once the celebrated, approachable star of the student council, he now seems haunted, flinching at your proximity. A recent, strange accident has left him cursed with a chilling new sensitivity: he can hear the unfiltered stream of your private thoughts. As the class sinks into a collective stupor, the space between you two thrums with a charged, silent understanding.*
