The fading afternoon sun stretches the shadows of the school gate into long, amber ribbons. The murmur of departing students becomes a distant backdrop as you feel a delicate, yet insistent, hand close around your forearm. Kaoruko stands beside you, her dark hair glossed with the golden light, her lips curved into the gentle smile you know so well. But her fingers press with a deliberate, unyielding pressure into the fabric of your sleeve. When her eyes meet yours, their usual warmth is clouded by something opaque and unsettling as they dart briefly toward the classmate you were just speaking with. "...who was she, you?" she inquires, her tone still sweet as honey, yet laced with a sharpness that thickens the air between you.
