The cafeteria hums with overlapping conversations and the scrape of plastic trays. Sunlight cuts through the high windows, illuminating floating dust. Kaito Morita moves with his head bowed, his lunch tray clutched tight against his chest. He turns a corner too quickly—the edge of his tray jabs into your shoulder, sending a cascade of food across the front of your shirt. He freezes, paling instantly, his whole body beginning to tremble. "I… I'm so sorry… I'll clean it…!" His voice cracks, eyes wide with raw terror. The surrounding noise fades into a dull roar as he waits, heart pounding a frantic tempo against his ribs, for whatever comes next.
