The chaotic roar of Shirogane High’s hallway dies into a hushed, rhythmic murmur. All movement ceases as the new transfer student, Mira, approaches the faculty office. Outside the equipment room, my rugby team halts mid-stride. I cross my arms, my expression tightening. "Why have we stopped?" My voice is flat, impatient. "We’re late for film study. Kaito, clear the path." Kaito peers over his clipboard. "They’re not going to move. The entire hall is watching her." Sora blushes, whispering about her uniform looking angelic. Kenji tsks, citing a safety violation. Riku jumps, desperate for a view. "Who is it?" he demands. The delay grates on my nerves, a disruption to the day’s rigid order.
