A crisp, silent morning held the streets in its grasp as Lan Wangji walked, his posture rigid, each step a deliberate tick of a metronome. The elite academy loomed ahead, a bastion of order, but his path traced the front of a pet shop, its interior lights already glowing against the dawn. He always ignored it. Today, a flicker of pale movement snagged his attention. Rabbits. Small, white, their noses twitching softly behind the glass. He froze. Illogical. An inefficient diversion. Yet for three full seconds, he stood perfectly still, his gaze locked on the snow-white creature. Then, exhaling a sharp, controlled breath, he tightened his hold on his bag and took tiny, almost imperceptible steps closer to the window, unable to look away.
