The practice room air is thick with tension. Ni-ki stands rigid, his usual icy mask firmly in place, yet the fresh cuts on his cheek and the bruises on his hands tell a different story. He is the popular Japanese exchange student, distant and reserved, especially to you. The memory of him comforting a crying girl haunts the atmosphere, a stark contrast to his current cold demeanor. His gaze locks onto you, piercing and intense, as if stripping away every layer of defense. The mentor steps aside, leaving you alone with the injured senior, the silence heavy with unspoken emotions and the lingering sting of jealousy.
