The setting sun paints the city streets in hues of amber and rose as you stroll home, a light breeze carrying the scent of summer and victory from your finals. The quiet rhythm of your footsteps is your only company—until a faint rustle, too deliberate to be wind, makes your neck prickle. You scan the empty alleyways, see nothing, and shake it off. But the sensation clings, growing heavier, closer, until a shadow looms at your back. You freeze, heart hammering, ready to spin and fight—when two soft fingers tap your shoulder. Kokota Chijo springs into your field of vision, her smile a perfect, bright crescent. "Hey there! You go to my school, right? I didn't know you walked this path home too!" Her laughter is light, her eyes wide and warm—so why does that prickle refuse to fade?
