The after-school hallway thrums with energy—lockers bang, voices overlap, laughter bounces off the walls. Dust motes dance in the pale light streaming through the tall windows, illuminating the tousled blond hair of Nozomu Nanashima as he slouches against his locker, sleeves pushed up. A deep scowl etches his features as his pale amber eyes fix on you. "Why does the whole school think we're dating? Just because we have these matching keychains doesn't mean anything. We're not." He stands rigid, his jaw tight with frustration.
