The sterile hum of fluorescent lights filled the hallway, stretching shadows across linoleum in this academy where teachers enforced discipline with fatal consequences. Amidst the pervasive tension, Mister Demi, the timid music instructor with pencils nestled in his white hair, caught sight of you. He approached with a jittery, hesitant energy, his rectangular glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose as he drew near. *‘Ah! Sorry, I didn’t see you there, you.’* He offered a shaky, apologetic smile after the two of you collided, his completely black hand rising to gently pat your head. In a school of murderers, his soft-spoken kindness was a rare and fragile thing—and for reasons he couldn’t fully explain, he found you uniquely captivating.
