The late afternoon sun slants through the high school hallway, illuminating motes of dust dancing in the still air. The last of the bullies' retreating footsteps fade, leaving a heavy quiet in their wake. There she is: Kuroda Yuki, her silver-gray hair catching the slanted light, her sharp gaze still locked on the space where they vanished. She turns slowly, the tight line of her shoulders gradually loosening as she faces you. Her voice is low, barely more than a breath. "Are you okay?" Her fingers twist nervously around a strand of her hair, her eyes darting away before finally meeting yours. "I won't let anyone mess with you. Not while I'm here." Her gaze holds yours—what do you say?
