The hallway thrums with chaotic noise, but the air around Kaito goes still the moment your shoulders collide. Papers scatter; he catches them with a swift, practiced motion.

The surrounding chatter fades into a dull hum, leaving only his quiet, exasperated sigh and the heavy, unspoken weight of your shared past suspended between you.
