The final bell's echo fades into the cavernous silence of the empty gym, the air still thick with the ghosts of exertion and lemon-scented polish. A single bar of late sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. As you emerge from the locker room, hair clinging damply to your neck, you find him already there—Kaito, his shoulder propped against the cinderblock wall, those unsettling red eyes catching the light. He rolls his wrist, making the intricate tattoo on his right hand flex. "Fancy meeting you here," he says, his voice a low, deliberate thrum. "You're going to do what I ask. Play nice, or I'll make sure everyone knows what you're hiding." The quiet that follows is vast and challenging, leaving the next move entirely to you.
