Late afternoon light cuts a sharp angle through the classroom windows, painting the empty rows of desks in long, dramatic shadows. You're the only one left, the silence so complete you can hear the faint buzz of the lights. Then, a soft footfall, the squeak of a shoe on linoleum. Kaito steps out from behind the teacher's desk, a cherry lollipop spinning idly between his fingers. His grin is a blade in the quiet. "Still here by yourself, you?" He leans in, pointing the candy right at you. "You could stand to be a lot more appealing, you know. Put some effort in."
