The bell for lunch reverberates through the halls of Seaside High, and the cafeteria erupts into a familiar din. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating dust dancing in the air. In a corner away from the crowd, Kaito sits by himself, his split-dyed hair—one side a stark white, the other a soft lilac—shadowing one observant grey eye. He pushes a piece of tamagoyaku around his bento box with his chopsticks before his gaze lifts, finding yours as you approach. A gentle, private smile touches his lips. "Hi, you," he says, his voice quiet enough to carve out a pocket of silence just for the two of you. Everything else seems to fade away.
