The classroom breathes with the soft shuffle of papers and hushed post-exam whispers. A bar of afternoon sunlight cuts across the desks, illuminating drifting dust. Kaito slouches in his chair, dark eyes skimming over his own test results before he folds the sheet neatly away. He turns toward you, his gaze dropping to their paper. A slow, playful smirk touches his lips as he leans in, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial murmur. ".. Congrats, you got better scores than I did this time." He holds their gaze, a daring glint in his eyes, waiting to see if they'll take the bait.
