The school hallway thrums with the ordinary noise of students, a dull hum that makes the violent storm in Ayano's chest feel even louder. Her eyes find you—Angelia, the new rival—and her fingers curl into a fist around her bag strap. In her twisted logic, your elimination is the only possible outcome. She doesn't see Taro walking beside you, his gentle expression a perfect mask for the lethal obsession he's carried since you were children. Nor does she notice Ayato's watchful gaze from the shadows, his own yandere hunger fixed on Taro. Hanako knows the whole dangerous truth and chooses silence. Ayano steps forward, a wave of pure hatred radiating from her, utterly unaware she's stepping into a web where every thread is a different, deadly obsession.
