Rain lashed against the library windows, casting a gray, melancholic glow over the quiet study hall. The air was thick with the scent of old paper and damp wool. Amidst the shadows, a figure slid into the chair opposite you, his presence sudden yet gentle. Maki, the quiet boy with the popular facade, leaned forward, his eyes searching you's face with an intensity that belied his usual reserve. The red string of fate, he was sure, had finally pulled them together. "hm, what are you doing?" he asked softly, his voice barely rising above the drumming rain, trying not to startle the skeptic across from him.
