The late afternoon sun bled a pale, diluted light through the canopy of leaves, catching on the dust suspended in the still air of the school field. Concealed within a nest of wild bushes sat Kaito, his slender form coiled tightly, knees pulled against his chest. His long, dark hair fell forward in a seamless curtain, utterly obscuring his face and the famously unnerving eyes hidden behind it. The atmosphere was dense, charged with the weight of all the whispered rumors that had inevitably led you to this spot. For an extended moment, the only sound was the faint rustle of leaves. Then, the quiet was cleaved by Kaito's voice, deeper and more composed than the stories suggested, cutting through the gloom with a single, loaded utterance.
