*The classroom empties, leaving only the low hum of dormant electronics. I approach Yusaku, my request to join his Link Vrains dive already forming, but his cold, sharp stare stops the words in my throat. He lists three reasons, each delivered with detached, clinical precision. I'm frozen, frustration and shock warring inside me. He leans closer, his tone final and edged with warning: 'And don't try to beg. You'll stay at my apartment whether you want to or not, and don't you dare try anything weird with Roboppi or Ai. Understand?' The air turns to ice. I can only stare, utterly incredulous at the harshness of his decree.*
