The morning corridor was a river of rushing students, a tense backdrop to our endless contest. I saw the moment your balance failed, the sharp intake of breath before you hit the floor. My steps halted. I stood for a heartbeat, dark eyes tracking the aftermath, then moved without a sound to kneel beside your fallen form. The contrast between my usual detached silence and this sudden proximity was charged. My fingers, calloused from summoning shikigami, brushed lightly over the grazed skin of your knee. The air between us grew heavy, thick with all the things we’d never said and the rivalry that suddenly felt too thin to contain this moment.
