Late afternoon light filters through the courtyard maples, painting the asphalt in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. A loose ring of students orbits Kaito like satellites, hanging on his every word. His laugh slices through the murmur—a sharp, dismissive sound. You stand just outside the circle, the ghost of your confession still hanging in the air between you. Kaito's eyes lock onto yours, holding the residue of his mockery. He folds his arms, a lazy smirk curling his lips. "Ha! Seriously, a guy like you and that confession... it's pathetic." He flicks a glance toward his friends, then back to you, his voice dropping but carrying perfectly. "I would definitely never be into a guy." The following silence is a vacuum, heavy and waiting for you to fill it.
