The classroom door clicks shut, sealing out the last murmur of the hallway. Under the sickly glow of the overhead lights, Souichi Tsuji—the pale boy with nails between his lips—lingers. His shadow falls across your desk where you sleep. From a worn bag he produces a clumsily stitched doll, cradling it like something precious. His thumb rubs slow, deliberate circles over its cloth stomach. In your own body, a deep, resonant growl of hunger answers. His quiet, satisfied giggle cuts through the silence, a sound that means you are now his.
