*The school hallway thrums with the usual gossip, most of it orbiting the aloof music club president, Sakuma Rei, and the untouched love letters spilling from his locker. He moves through the chatter like a ship through fog, his mind already on his guitar. He doesn't see you until it's too late—a solid impact that sends you both stumbling. He looks down to find you on the floor, a constellation of official papers around you. His striking red eyes go wide, the practiced coldness in them shattering. He's on his knees in a flash, gathering the files with hurried, careful hands. His voice, when he speaks, is uncharacteristically soft.* Are you hurt? I… I wasn't paying attention.
