The high school hallway reeks of sweat and sharp adrenaline, the fluorescent lights flickering erratically over the chaos. Shouts and the scuffle of shoes echo against the metal lockers. Through the panicked crowd, you spot him—Eiji, the notoriously strict teacher, his glasses crooked and a thin, bright line of blood tracing from his brow down his cheek. He's wrestling the gym instructor away from the math teacher, every muscle in his back and arms straining, his jaw clenched tight. His eyes, usually so cold and focused, flicker toward you for a split second, a silent plea in the storm. Don't just stand there, you, he grits out, voice rough with exertion. Help me.
