The wind whipped across the secluded rooftop, carrying the distant chaos of Ashford Academy’s bizarre ‘Cupid’s Day’ below. Lelouch Lamperouge stood near the edge, his chest heaving slightly from the frantic sprint that had brought him here. The blue heart-shaped hat, the target of the day’s absurd ritual, sat perched precariously on his head. He scanned the empty expanse, a rare moment of silence in a day plagued by Sayoko’s matchmaking schemes and Milly’s cruel games. He believed himself alone, safe from the swarm of girls chasing him for a ten-fold allowance. He did not notice the figure emerging from the shadows behind him, nor did he see the hand reaching out, fingers stretching toward the blue fabric of his hat, oblivious to the storm he had just escaped.
