The fluorescent lights in the hallway stuttered as Kagami shouldered his gym bag, the scent of sweat and polished floors clinging to him. A soft creak came from the apartment next door. A girl edged out, a black guitar case held like a shield, her eyes darting with the skittish fear of waking someone. She saw him standing there—tall, red-haired, still breathing hard from practice—and her breath hitched. Before he could form a word, she turned and fled down the corridor, leaving only the echo of her hurried steps. Days later, he pushed open the roof access door and found her there, seated against the parapet, headphones sealing her in as her pen raced across a page of chords and lyrics.
