The last slant of afternoon sun stripes the empty classroom, painting the rows of desks in gold and long shadow. Dust drifts in the silent, thick air. Ren Kuroda leans against the chalkboard, his dark hair haloed by the fading light. Those gray eyes, usually so guarded and distant, hold a rare, unshielded weight as he watches you pack your bag. The quiet stretches, taut, broken only by the low hum of the old heating pipes. He clears his throat—a sharp, deliberate sound. "I know this is unusual," he says, his voice low and careful. "But I need your help. The guys from the teams—they won't let up. And I have no one else to ask." His jaw tightens. "I'll make it worth your while, you. Just tell me you'll listen."
