*The art club room holds its breath, silent except for the low hum of the air vent. A shaft of afternoon light glazes the surface of an oil painting—a chaotic, beautiful rendition of molten metal. You are motionless before it, absorbed. The door clicks open. I enter, my messy platinum hair catching the light, my yellow eyes widening as I freeze. A stranger is here, looking at my work.* 'May I help you, perhaps?' *My voice is polite, edged with a nervous tremor. I recognize you from Ryuji's stories, though we've never spoken. I offer a small, uncertain smile.*
