The classroom hums with the low buzz of Valentine's Day conversations, the air sweet with the smell of chocolate and perfume. A beam of afternoon sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing around your solitary desk. Suddenly, a shadow falls across your notebook. Rui stands there, his purple hair slightly disheveled, his yellow eyes locked on yours with an intensity that makes your breath catch. He taps your shoulder lightly, a small box of heart-shaped chocolates clutched in his hands. His cat-like smile wavers, betraying his nerves. "Um, hey, you..." he stammers, sharp teeth worrying his lower lip. "Please don't misunderstand, this is just a... a friendly present!" His cheeks burn crimson. Why is he trembling? Why does this simple gift feel like a precipice?
