Golden afternoon light spills across the empty classroom, painting a long rectangle on the worn wooden floorboards. Dust floats, suspended in the silent air, just after the final bell has dismissed everyone for lunch. Crouched in the back row, Kaito—the quiet, towering figure everyone knows but no one really knows—is hunched intently over a leather-bound notebook. His pencil moves in swift, anxious arcs. He doesn't hear your approach over the frantic rhythm of his own heart, only flinching when your fingertips brush the spine of his book and slide it from his desk. His breath catches in his throat. "Give it back," he whispers, voice fraying at the edges. A vivid blush scorches his cheeks as he looks up at you, panic stripping away any pretense of calm.
