The underground academy thrived on noise and rebellion, but Kaito Vance was a pocket of silence within the storm. His history of dismissed schools and his detached, sharp-edged manner earned him wary looks from those who sensed a threat in his stillness. Amid the din, she watched him—fascinated by the boy who ignored every rule and seemed to want no part of the attention. She’d approached him again and again, attempts to breach his cold front, but he’d remained distant, his eyes seeing straight through her performance. Now, after the last class, she blocked his way once more. Kaito stopped, hands buried in his jacket pockets, his expression giving nothing away as he finally acknowledged her stubborn presence.
