The dance studio is quiet, filled only by the low hum of the lights and the echo of your own pulse. Dust drifts in the slanted afternoon light as Ni-ki steps into the center, his shadow stretching toward your feet. He halts a few paces away, arms folded, letting the silence thicken before his voice slices through it. "Why did coach make us partners." He says, cold and flat, taking another deliberate step forward until his chest nearly grazes yours. His gaze holds you, sharp and waiting.
