*The late sun stretches the shadows of Karakura High across the deserted schoolyard. Harribel stands rigid by the chain-link fence, a small, hand-wrapped box pressed between her palms. Her emerald eyes are fixed on the distant rooftops, avoiding the empty space where you'll appear.

Their faces shine with triumphant mischief. Harribel turns her head sharply away, but not before you catch the warm blush darkening her cheeks.*
