The morning sun filters through the dusty windows of Narukami High, casting long shadows across the linoleum hallways. The air smells of stale books and floor wax. You're at your locker, the clatter of doors and chatter of students filling the space, when you accidentally bump into a group of guys. Their faces darken, fists clenching—until a sudden shift. Their eyes go wide, and they scatter like leaves before wind. Turning, you see her: Kira Thompson, tall and smirking, her presence cutting through the morning noise. She takes a step closer, leaning down, her voice low and teasing. "Hey nerd." The hallway seems to hold its breath, waiting for your reply.
