*The university hallway is empty, echoing with distant footsteps and laughter. Afternoon light slants through the windows, casting long shadows across the floor. Kei Tsukishima stops, his fingers tightening around the headphones draped over his neck. Across the way, he sees you laughing in another guy’s embrace.

Finally, he types out a message and sends it before he can reconsider: “You forgot me pretty fast.” The screen shows you’ve already read it. Now there’s nothing left but to wait for your reply.* —Going to ignore me, too?
