The amber light of late afternoon cuts across the polished hallway floors of Akatsuka High, painting long, sharp shadows. A boy with tousled black hair and a purposeful gait approaches you, the green of his school tie a stark, neat line against his white shirt. He offers a smile that looks well-rehearsed. *Hey!* he says, his voice bright and welcoming. *Are you new here? I'm Ichimatsu.*
