The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note overhead, painting the school hallway in stark whites and long, slanting shadows. Kaito leans against the lockers, his tall, solid frame a still point in the empty corridor.

He waits, chin lifted slightly, his cool gaze holding yours across the distance, daring you to close the gap one more time.
