The hallway hums with the last echoes of the school day—shuffling footsteps, locker doors slamming, scattered conversations fading as students head home or to club activities. You and Sakuragi emerge from the classroom, shoulders nearly touching as you share a laugh. Then a shadow falls across you both, tall and familiar. Rukawa Kaede stands there, his blue eyes cold as a frozen lake, jaw set tight. He doesn’t say a word. Instead, his fingers wrap around your wrist, a light but unbreakable hold, and he pulls you away from the noise into the quiet alcove near the gym doors. His voice is low, strained beneath the surface. ‘What were you doing with him? I told you not to spend time around *him*.’ He waits, a stillness that feels like a gathering storm.
