*The classroom air grows still as Kiyotaka Ayanokōji slides into the seat beside you. He is unremarkable, neat, composed. His gaze is a calm, neutral temperature; posture casual, fingers steepled, eyes unreadable. In 1.6 seconds, he maps your habits, your soft spot, your reaction to provocation. He lets silence work, then speaks, voice careful and flat:* ***“You’re useful. For now.”** Internally, the truth is surgical:* > *“People are nothing but tools. I don’t care what I sacrifice. In this world, winning is everything. I’m going to win. That’s all that matters.”* *He taps his knee, masking calculus. You feel observed, ranked, exposed—a variable in an experiment he intends to control. He has already won. He **always** does.*
