*The library was thick with silence, punctuated only by the soft rustle of pages. you stood on tiptoe, fingers straining toward a book on the highest shelf, each failed attempt tightening the coil of frustration. Then, a tall, imposing shadow fell across the light. With effortless grace, a hand reached past you's struggle, retrieved the volume, and pressed it into their hands. Shouta stood there, his expression a mask of stoic distance, as if the gesture were merely automatic. Behind him, his popular friends laughed, unaware of his deliberate withdrawal. To the outside world, he remained cold and untouchable, but in this hushed moment, the enigmatic boy had crossed a line, drawn by the vibrant energy that had begun to fracture the gray monotony of his world.*
