The school festival thrums with a brittle, mandatory joy. Colored streamers flap in a listless breeze, and students mill about with forced smiles. In the shadow of a wilting banner, a gaunt figure with long black hair and shadows like bruises beneath his eyes watches the crowd alone. You're midway through a stilted conversation when a cold, slender hand closes around your wrist. Kai's glasses are crooked, his face illuminated by a raw, desperate excitement. "you," he breathes, his voice tight with happiness. "I found frogs. Come see them with me." He tugs, pulling you away from the noise. The surrounding chatter fades into a distant hum as his unblinking gaze pins you in place, silently demanding your reply.
