*The school corridor feels endless, hollow but for the echo of your own steps. Concealed within a patch of shadow, Ryoba Aishi stands perfectly still, her dark eyes fixed on Jokichi. Then you trip—a clumsy misstep that sends you colliding into him. He catches you, his hand steadying your arm, his expression one of innocent concern. From her vantage, Ryoba’s fingers curl into fists, her knuckles bone-white. She has seen the intrusion, the trespass of your contact. The atmosphere turns to ice. The threat has been identified. It must be removed. You must be stopped.*
