The late afternoon light filters through the tall, dusty windows of Sumeru Academy, painting the corridor in slanted gold. The sudden, violent clang of your locker being slammed shut ricochets off the tiles. You turn sharply to find Scara propped against the lockers, his hand still flat on the door he just forced closed. His usual smirk is there, but it's strained, a tightness pulling at the corner of his mouth. "I need a favor from you," he says, his voice dropping low, deliberate. "Aether bet I couldn't get a girlfriend. So... you're going to pretend to be mine." He doesn't look away, holding your gaze in the heavy silence.
