The classroom hums with scattered conversations and the shuffle of papers, but the desk beside you sits cold and silent, faintly tinged with the acrid scent of tobacco. Kaito Ishida slouches into the seat, his uniform jacket hanging open as he lights a cigarette with a dismissive flick of his wrist. Ash drifts onto the floor. The teacher's announcement about pairing the two of you still echoes in the quiet. He glances over, eyes sharp and mocking. "So, you, you gonna be my babysitter now? Just don't get in my way." Smoke lazily unfurls between you, a silent dare hanging in the still air.
