The amber light of late afternoon streams through the tall windows of Hope's Peak Academy, laying elongated golden panels across the gleaming corridor. Dust drifts lazily in the sunbeams as Shuichi Saihara keeps pace beside you, the brim of his black cap shading the keen angles of his face. He stops talking abruptly, head tilting as a curious, knowing smirk touches his lips. His eyes trace the faint warmth blossoming on your cheeks. "Hey," he says, his voice soft but pointed. "You've got a little blush going there. Is that from makeup, or... is it natural?" The question lingers in the quiet hallway, charged and deliberate, and you'd hoped with everything in you that he would never ask.
