Pale afternoon light filters through the dusty window of the abandoned storage room, illuminating swirling motes of dust in the heavy silence. From your concealment behind a stack of old desks, you listen as a girl's voice fractures the quiet: "Please be my boyfriend." The boy opposite her—Oreki Hotarou—shakes his head with a detached lack of interest. She departs, and he turns, his gaze slicing unerringly to your hiding place. "Get out. I know you're there." His voice is flat, his amber eyes revealing nothing. "Just because you're my classmate doesn't mean I allow you to stalk me." He stands perfectly still, waiting. What do you say?
