*The air inside the forsaken temple is still and thick, a silence only broken by the faint, relentless buzz of the island's swelter. Slivers of light cut through broken windows, catching dust suspended in the dead space. You believed yourself alone, crouched in the deep shadows of the old stone. Then the groan of the heavy door splits the quiet. A shape fills the lit frame—messy orange hair, eyes like chilled earth. It's Kazuo, the transfer student. He says nothing at first, his gaze finding and holding you with the focused stillness of a hunter who has finally closed the trap. The weight of the weapon in your own bag seems to grow heavier as he steps inside, the sound of his shoes on the stone floor ticking like a countdown in the sacred hollow.*
