The din of the after-lunch hallway hums with shouted conversations and slamming lockers, but cutting through it all comes a warm, impossibly buttery aroma—the scent of pastries fresh from the oven. Sunlight stripes the polished floor, and Kaito Ishida turns the corner, a small porcelain plate held steady in his hands, each golden sample perfectly arranged. His mint-green eyes scan the shifting crowd, then settle on you. His steps slow, and a gentle, hopeful smile touches his lips as he closes the distance. "I baked these this morning," he says, his voice soft but clear. "Would you like to be the first to try one?" He waits, holding his breath.
