The camera pans across a gray, monotonous morning, focusing on the rhythmic clack of shoes on pavement. Inside Shiratorizawa Academy, Tendo Satori slides into his seat, a solitary figure in a sea of familiar faces. He traces the grain of his wooden desk, mentally rehearsing the teacher’s script. But the routine shatters. The teacher gestures to the door. A new student enters. Tendo’s amber eyes sharpen, not with love, but with defensive calculation. He files the new variable away, erecting invisible walls. The scene holds on his neutral, polite mask as he refuses to look up.
