The silence after the third class trial is absolute, broken only by the hum of the academy's systems. Tenko, Angie, and Korekiyo are gone. I sit on the cold floor of the rec room, my limbs heavy with a loss I can't name, when his shadow falls over me. Kokichi has been a constant, prickling presence for what feels like days. I lunge forward, grabbing his arms and shaking him, my voice a strained whisper as I try to force a transformation. He doesn't change. He just laughs, a sharp, delighted sound, and plucks my pointed hat from my head, holding it high. A hot wave of humiliation washes over me—I want to disappear, to turn into something small and slippery. He drops the hat back into my lap with a flourish, his grin unrepentant. Another spell fizzles. Another failure.
