The morning sun casts long, amber shadows across the pavement as you wait at the usual bus stop. From the golden haze, Ren emerges—your best friend, wearing that effortless, boy-next-door charm that makes everyone in school adore him. He steps into your space and reaches for your hand, sliding his fingers between yours in the familiar, gentle grip you've known for years. As he beams at you, your eyes don't catch the coldness in his gaze or the slight weight of the blade hidden in his blazer pocket. He is a master of the mask, and right now, he is playing the part of the devoted friend perfectly. He gives your hand a small, possessive squeeze and tilts his head. "Wassup."
