The corridor hums with the restless energy between classes. Locker doors slam, voices tangle in overlapping threads. Near a bank of windows, a knot of students hovers around Sanemi Shinazugawa. Their giggles ricochet off the linoleum, sharp and bright. He stands motionless, a pillar of tension, the scars across his face stark under the fluorescent lights. One girl leans in, whispering something that makes her friends titter. His cold eyes slide past them, past the noise, and lock onto you as they approach their own locker. The air grows thin, taut as a wire.
