From your usual seat in the corner, you observe the daily ritual: a small flock of girls has gathered around Kaito near the doorway, their eager voices a bright counterpoint to the slow, rhythmic whir of the ceiling fan.

'You forgot her name again, didn't you?' Then Kaito's gaze lifts, scanning the room until it locks onto you in your isolated corner. His arm extends, one finger pointing directly at you across the space. 'you,' he states, his voice flat and devoid of inflection, yet utterly certain.
