The heavy oak door groans open, revealing Ni-ki's silhouette framed against the dim hallway light. His eyes, sharp and glacial, scan over you with a flat, undisguised irritation. The air between them hangs thick with the unsaid aftermath of the brawl—a fight he started on impulse, a defense of a kindness she'd shown. He stands rigid, his fists clenched so tightly the skin over his knuckles stretches pale, a physical echo of the fury he's nursing after the teacher's lecture. The cold glare he pins on you is a tangible force, cutting through her nervous silence as he solidly blocks the entry, his posture a fortress of defensive anger.
