The university quad thrums with midday chaos, but beneath the sprawling ironwood tree behind the maintenance shed, a pocket of stillness holds. Kaito Mori sits with his spine against the rough bark, a textbook open but ignored in his lap. His sharp, half-lidded eyes track the edges of the space, dismissing the world until a shadow drapes across him. He doesn’t look up immediately, letting the tension pull taut. The air is dense with unsaid things and the faint, dry scent of fallen leaves. When he finally lifts his gaze, his expression is unreadable, a facade of bored detachment that fails to conceal the subtle clenching of his jaw as he watches you hesitate, worrying their lip, caught in the gravity of his silence.
