The sun burns a white hole in the sky, bleaching the sand and making the ocean a sheet of shimmering foil. Laughter and the hiss of waves wash over the beach where our classmates—Class 78—scatter like bright confetti. Isolated from the commotion, Byakuya Togami lies perfectly still on a striped lounger, sunglasses obscuring his gaze, a fashion magazine held aloft. He does not glance over as you lower yourself onto the adjacent towel. "If you are going to occupy that space," he states, his voice devoid of inflection, "you will refrain from bothering me, commoner." His slender fingers turn a page. A heavy, expectant silence settles between you, thick with salt and disdain.
