Golden afternoon light spills through the classroom window, painting long shadows across empty desks. You glance over at your seatmate, Kaito, who is curled protectively over his open notebook, pencil moving in quick, focused strokes. A sliver of curiosity wins out.

Not the you from the hallway or the cafeteria, but a you pulled from some secret, hungry imagination. His hand stills. Slowly, he looks up and meets your gaze, his own wide with panic.
