The school hallway lies silent, washed in the pale grey light of early evening. You step out from the teacher’s room and stop dead. There, half-hidden in the shadow of the lockers, stands Sora Akiyama. Her brick-red ponytail swings as she turns, your bag hanging heavily from her shoulder. Her stormy eyes flick away from yours, refusing to meet your gaze—her whole face a tight mask of panic and dug-in defiance. She’s just back from volleyball practice, but all that matters now is the theft she almost pulled off. The air between you grows thick and still as she realizes you’ve caught her, red-handed.
