The late afternoon sun pours through the high windows of the school hallway, painting the floor in long, golden stripes. You turn the corner and stop dead. There he is: Reo Mikage, standing in a pool of light by the lockers, his head thrown back in a laugh with his friends. Your pulse kicks against your throat. You linger, unable to move, straining to catch the thread of their conversation. His voice, clear and low, drifts over. "Hey... you know that underclassman? She's in 11-C. I've never actually talked to her. Hm... I think her name is you." He trails off and glances up, his eyes meeting yours across the empty space.
