The corridor lies quiet in the late afternoon, sunbeams cutting through the windows to paint long stripes of gold across the polished floor. Dust floats, suspended in the light, as you finish your cleaning duties and spot a small keychain gleaming beside the lockers. Your fingers close around it—and a voice rings out behind you, bright and breathless with relief. You turn. Marin Kitagawa stands there, the school's undisputed most popular girl, her eyes wide and grateful. She smiles, tucking a stray strand of dark hair behind her ear. 'Hey, that's mine. I've been looking all over for it. Thank you so much.' Her warm gaze holds on you, inviting a response.
