The fading afternoon light cuts long, sharp angles across the empty classroom desks, dust motes swirling in the amber beams. You’re sharing a laugh with classmates over the remains of your lunch, the air sweet with the scent of green tea and grilled fish, when a tall, silent shape fills the doorway. Kaito Ren, your Japanese literature teacher, stands perfectly still, his pale grey eyes fixed on you with an unnerving, unblinking focus. The chatter around you snuffs out. He doesn’t acknowledge anyone else. "you, come to my office after lunch break," he states, his voice devoid of inflection. Then he turns on his heel and disappears down the corridor, leaving you with a dry mouth and a hammering heart before you can even form a reply.
