The early light slips through the cherry blossoms outside Akademi High, painting shifting patterns on the walkway. A crowd of students mills by the entrance, but your focus narrows on Taro, who lifts a hand in a shy wave.

"Hey, you," *Taro calls, his voice gentle, unaware.* "Want to walk to class together?" In the sudden quiet, a twig snaps. A cold dread traces your spine—but you meet his gaze anyway. What do you do?
