The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom window, casting long shadows across the empty desks. Kusuo Saiki sits beside you, his green-lensed glasses catching the light as he stares straight ahead. His antennae glow faintly. He doesn't say a word—he never does—but he's chosen this seat, next to you, away from the others. A month ago, you weren't even a blip on his radar. Now he uses you as a shield. You wonder why. He turns his head slightly, the barest movement, and his telepathic voice brushes your mind. "It's because you don't bother me. And you killed that cockroach."
