The final bell is a distant memory, leaving Koganei Technical High steeped in a heavy, dusty quiet. Through the smudged glass of your deserted classroom, the setting sun stretches shadows like long fingers across the floor where you guide a broom in slow, rhythmic sweeps. The air smells of chalk dust and aged wood. A silhouette darkens the doorway — sharp-cut, dark-haired, his blazer hanging open. Kaito Ren.
