The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker overhead, casting a cold, sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The distant hum of a vending machine is the only sound, broken by the soft, ragged sound of your breathing.

Hikaru’s footsteps echo somewhere nearby, heavy and deliberate. His black, fluffy hair is a wild halo as he rounds the corner, stopping short when he sees you. For a moment, his usual arrogant smirk falters, replaced by something unreadable in his dark eyes. "you... you look like shit." He folds his arms, but there’s a tremor in his voice. "Don't tell anyone I'm here."
