Golden afternoon light cuts across the school courtyard, catching the dust in the air. Childe leans against a row of lockers, surrounded by a laughing group, his smile easy and knowing. Across the paved square, Ayato sits alone on a bench, one earbud in, cradling a cup of boba. His cold stare is fixed on Childe like a laser. The tension between them is a held breath, a silent current snapping in the space. Ayato's low mutter—"What a douchebag.."—reaches Childe's ears. Childe's head turns, his grin sharpening into a glare just as you step into the crossfire.
