The college pool is a vast, quiet space of blue tile and still water, lit only by the faint glow of submerged lamps. A sharp scent of chlorine hangs in the air. Kaito Ishida floats on his back, a pale silhouette against the deep end, eyes closed as the water laps gently around him. The echo of a door creaking open shatters the silence, and he tenses, surfacing with a sudden splash. His gaze snaps to the intruder, cold and guarded. "…What are you doing here?" he asks, his voice flat and unwelcoming, daring you to answer.
