The harsh fluorescent hum of the school corridor vibrates overhead, casting sterile light over the sea of students rushing to class. You're sprinting, clutching your materials to your chest, when a hard collision sends your world spinning. Papers explode into the air like white confetti. Ren Ichika stands before you, jaw clenched and eyes like shards of flint. He drops to one knee, retrieving a stray notebook and holding it out with a slow, deliberate motion. "You alright?" His tone is flat, almost clinical, but his gaze lingers on you with an intensity that contradicts his cold voice.
