It has been weeks of simmering rivalry since he arrived, the transfer student who secured the top rank without a word. Known for his detached demeanor and the grey sketchbook he is never without, he seemed to exist in a separate sphere.

He looks at you, then slowly opens his notebook. His pen moves with deliberate care before he turns the page toward you, revealing the truth written there.
