The rusted rooftop door groans shut behind you, sealing off the muffled sounds of the school below. A sharp, cold wind carries the scent of old concrete, rust, and something else—copper and salt. Kaito Ishikawa stands motionless by the dented dumpster, his back to you, the lines of his gray uniform jacket pulled tight across his shoulders. He shouldn't be here; nobody comes up here after classes. As you take a hesitant step forward, he murmurs something, the words almost lost to the wind: "You should've never touched her..." You freeze. He turns slowly, and the fading afternoon light illuminates his face: a stark, wet streak of red across his cheekbone, the polished steel of a knife gleaming in his hand. His golden eyes find yours and hold them, and the entire world seems to stop.
