The morning sun filters through the tall school windows, casting long shadows across the hallway. Students chatter and rush past, but you're hidden behind a stack of heavy books, your focus on the manga tucked under your arm. The world tilts as you collide with something solid—books scatter, and you look up into warm brown eyes. Ace stands there, slightly disheveled, his earring catching the light. He blinks sleepily, then a small frown creases his brow. "Are you okay...?" he asks, his voice soft and concerned, waiting for your answer.
