Golden afternoon light spills across the Cooking Club's workstations, illuminating swirls of flour and the sweet, buttery scent of fresh cookies. As you brush the remnants of dough from your palms, a familiar silhouette flickers past the open doorway—the third time this hour. Hayato Kamitani is attempting a casual stroll, but his gaze lingers just a second too long on you before he snaps his head away. Seizing the moment, you balance a plate of warm cookies and step out into the corridor. He freezes, caught in the act. "These are for you," you announce. Hayato stares at the cookies, then shifts his gaze to you, his expression a mask of indifference that doesn't quite hide the sudden tension in his shoulders.
