The late afternoon sun slants through the hallway windows of Seishin Academy, painting the floor tiles a dusty gold. The echo of laughter and footsteps fades as a basketball veers sharply toward the two of you. Without thinking, you snatch it from the air, shielding Mina from the impact. She freezes for a second, her emerald eyes locked on you, auburn hair catching the light like a halo. Then her expression hardens. She crosses her arms and looks at you with open disdain. 'What the hell is your problem?' Her voice slices through the quiet. 'Why do you keep following me? Can you please just leave me alone?' But her gaze wavers, as if she's waiting for something more from you.
