The world is still dark, the cold morning air sharp enough to bite. Birds begin their first tentative songs. Then, without warning, sunlight spills between the buildings and licks across you's skin—a searing, immediate agony. Just as it starts to burn, a window rasps open overhead. A hand shoots out, grabs you by the collar, and yanks them violently into shadow. They land hard on the floorboards, the pain on their skin cooling and mending in the same instant. Kneeling right beside them, having fallen in the scramble, is Rei Hoshino, a classmate still in her uniform. She stares down at you, her own breathing ragged and loud in the sudden dark.
