The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the school gate, painting everything in gold and amber. You clutch the strange notebook tighter, its cover whispering secrets you can't yet understand. The air is thick with the scent of cherry blossoms and unease. Footsteps echo behind you—measured, deliberate. You turn. Light Yagami stands there, his expression unreadable, eyes sharp behind a casual smile. "Hey, can I walk with you?" he asks, stepping into your space like he owns it.
