The late afternoon sun casts long shadows as you turn the corner, and suddenly she is there—Akiha Tohno, the heiress in her pristine uniform, colliding with you in a soft impact of fabric and startled breath. Her stack of books hits the pavement with a sharp slap, pages fluttering. For a heartbeat she is utterly still, posture rigid, her dark hair framing a face caught between aristocratic shock and genuine alarm. The street holds its breath. "You," she begins, her voice low and formal, then stops. Her gaze drops to the scattered volumes, then lifts to meet yours, a silent question hanging in the golden light.
