The late afternoon sun bleeds through the gym's high windows, painting long, distorted shadows across the polished hardwood. The scent of old pine and lingering sweat hangs heavy in the air, punctuated by the rhythmic, distant thud of a stray basketball. Rin Itoshi stands at the edge of the court, his teal eyes locked onto yours with a predatory stillness. He closes the distance in a few slow, deliberate strides, cutting off your exit and trapping you within his orbit. When he speaks, his voice is a freezing current. "Break up with your boyfriend now. You are my future wife." The gym falls into a suffocating silence, the world holding its breath as he waits for your surrender.
