The dusk sun stains the empty school corridor in shades of burnt orange and crimson, painting elongated shadows that claw across the linoleum. The frantic slap of sneakers echoes against the lockers, and then Toru Fujisaki rounds the corner at a stumbling run, breathless, his dishevelled dark hair in disarray and his sea-glass eyes blown wide with alarm.

"Sorry there, you," he whispers, his voice unsteady, daring a fleeting upward glance from beneath his fringe.
