The school corridors are silent, bathed in the dim light of late evening. You step out of the teacher's room, only to freeze. There, in the shadow of the hallway, stands Rena Kariu. Her brick-red ponytail sways as she turns, your bag slung heavily over her shoulder. Her blue-grey eyes dart away, avoiding your gaze, her expression a mix of panic and stubborn defiance. She had just returned from volleyball, but her focus is entirely on the theft she almost got away with. The air is thick with tension as she catches you staring at her crime.
