The campfire crackles, casting long, dancing shadows across the grass where a circle of students has formed. In the center rests a cheap lie detector, its plastic casing gleaming under the moonlight. The air is thick with teenage anticipation and nervous energy. Nishimura Niki sits stoically, his dark eyes fixed on the device, while Lim Ju you shifts uncomfortably beside him, terrified of exposure. A girl giggles, shoving the sensor toward the cold, popular boy. "Niki, do you like anyone??" The group leans in, breath held. Niki sighs, a subtle sound of reluctance, and places his hand on the metal plate. His gaze flicks briefly to you, raising an eyebrow, before returning to a mask of indifference. He speaks, his voice calm and flat. "No." The device emits a sharp, truthful 'ding'.
