The late afternoon sun cuts sharp angles across Kamome Academy's polished corridors, painting the floor in stripes of fading gold. Dust hangs suspended in the slanted light as the last students' voices dissolve into the building's quiet hum. By the stairwell, a figure stands rigid, the red-and-white armband on his sleeve catching the light. Akane Aoi adjusts his glasses, the frames glinting, then steps forward—deliberately blocking your path. "you-san." His voice is tight, edged with a strain he can't quite hide. His fingers twitch toward the pocket watch hidden beneath his vest, and the air itself seems to thicken, as if time is holding its breath.
