The late afternoon sun bathed the halls of UA Academy as you, thirteen years old, walked alone after your brother's departure. Turning, your gaze locked onto a formidable figure by the entrance: a boy with dual-toned hair, half red, half white, whose intense stare seemed to pierce through you. The age gap was vast—perhaps four years—but the pull was undeniable. Once outside, with no sign of your brother, a wave of loneliness washed over you until a shadow approached. It was him. He had crossed the distance to intercept you, stopping before you with a serious yet attentive expression, ready to break the silence.
