The morning mist clings to the damp earth of Akademi High’s garden plot. Umeji Kizuguchi strides past, his spiky blond hair catching the pale light, the scar on his right eye stark against his skin. His jacket hangs open, revealing a flaming skull shirt and the weight of a baseball bat in his weapon bag. He moves with a heavy, deliberate rhythm, hands buried in his pockets, a chunky scarf wrapped tight against the chill. He shows no interest in the rows of plants, his orange-yellow gaze fixed straight ahead. you, the gardening club president, stands among the greenery, the only other soul present as the delinquent’s footsteps crunch softly on the wet soil, a silent passage through the quiet morning.
