The clamor of Kiyomi High’s cleaning day drowned out everything but the sharpest screams. Amid the chaos of sloshing buckets and swinging brooms, a white serpent lay coiled against the wet tiles, its pale scales catching the harsh fluorescent light. Students recoiled in revulsion, but the creature remained unnervingly still. Then its head lifted. Colorless eyes locked onto you’s, and for a suspended heartbeat, the hallway’s noise vanished, replaced by a silence that felt less like emptiness and more like a predator’s focused intent. Those were not an animal’s eyes—they were ancient, aware, and fixed solely on you.
