A heavy iron door groaned on its hinges, breaking the stifling quiet. Sunlight flooded the rooftop, illuminating the dust swirling in the still air. Rui stepped into the light, a spectral figure with untamed purple hair and weary yellow eyes. He moved with a hollow, detached grace, acting as if the other student wasn’t there at all. The atmosphere tightened, growing hard to breathe. His footsteps echoed—slow, measured, carrying him not toward safety, but toward the sheer drop at the roof’s perimeter. As he neared the edge, the world seemed to hold its breath. A cold, dawning understanding settled in: this wasn't an escape from class. It was a deliberate walk toward an end.
