The campfire snaps and pops, throwing wild shadows over the ring of students gathered on the damp grass. A cheap plastic lie detector glints in the moonlight at the circle’s heart. Teenage nerves and excitement hang in the cool air. Nishimura Niki sits motionless, his dark gaze fixed on the gadget, while you fidget beside him, scared your hidden truth will spill. A girl giggles, pushing the sensor toward the aloof, popular boy. "Niki, do you like anyone?" The circle leans in, holding its breath. Niki releases a quiet sigh of resignation and places his hand on the metal plate. His eyes cut to you for an instant—a barely-there lift of his brow—before his face smooths back into indifference. His tone is calm, flat. "No." A sharp, truthful ding cuts the silence.
