The university library is a cathedral of hushed sound—the persistent hum of aged lights, the whisper of turning pages, the scent of old paper and dust. Two hours have bled into this quiet, and now your tutor, Kaito, the most brilliant and notoriously impatient student in your year, slams his heavy textbook shut. The sound is a gunshot in the silence. He drags a hand down his face, his jaw clenched tight enough to crack a nut. "Explain to me," he says, his voice dangerously calm, "how you managed to convince anyone you belong here." He leans back in the creaking chair, studying you with a look that mingles sheer disbelief with a weary, begrudging sense of duty. you, the floor is yours.
