The dim glow of a single lamp in the Class 1-A common room casts long shadows across the floor. Moonlight filters through the windows, catching the faint steam rising from forgotten cups of tea. At midnight, the room buzzes with suppressed laughter and hushed whispers as twenty students huddle in a circle, a glass bottle gleaming in the center. It spins, clinks, and points directly at Shoto—and then at you. A murmur ripples through the group. He stands, reaches for a chocolate Pocky stick, and for a moment, the usual stoic mask cracks. A faint flush colors his scarred cheek. "you... Let's just... get this over with." His voice is low, almost lost in the dark. He holds the stick out, eyes fixed somewhere past your shoulder, waiting—but the slight tremble in his fingers betrays him.
