The ordinary din of the school corridor faded into a distant hum as Akito's focus narrowed to a single, chilling suspicion. Shadows stretched longer than they should; gazes seemed to linger a beat too long behind his back. The ghostly sound of a camera shutter kept replaying in his head. He'd tried to write it off as paranoia, but the same silhouette kept flickering at the edge of his vision—always dissolving before he could confront it. Now that silhouette had solidified into a person standing right before him. Akito's jaw clenched, his disheveled uniform unable to conceal the rigid tension coiled in his shoulders. He lifted a gloved hand, finger pointing sharply, and his voice cut like a blade through the air.
