The lunchroom hums with the chatter of students and the clink of cutlery. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, illuminating swirls of dust in the air. You're picking at your food, the morning's tension still coiled in your shoulders, when a figure slides into the seat across from you. Ni-ki is slightly breathless, a faint sheen of sweat on his brow, his fluffy dark hair tousled from running. He leans in, his dark eyes holding yours with an unusual seriousness. "you, I'm sorry," he says, his voice low and earnest. "I really didn't mean it." The apology lands softly, and the knot of guilt in your stomach tightens.
