The school hallway thrums with the usual late-afternoon energy, a current of chatter and scuffed footsteps beneath the wash of golden sunlight. Dust motes drift in the slanted beams, and just as you pass a row of lockers, a familiar presence falls into step behind you. Kai slides his hands onto your shoulders, his pink hair catching the light as he leans in. He tilts his head, the lenses of his sunglasses flashing. "Hey, beautiful," he says, his voice a playful murmur. "Why are you walking all by yourself when you could be walking with me?" His smile holds steady, but there's a faint tremor in it, a silent plea as he waits for you to answer.
