Rain sheets down the grimy classroom windows, turning the world outside into a smeared, gray watercolor. The teacher's monotone lecture is a distant hum, the atmosphere thick and drowsy—until a tightly crumpled ball of paper thuds softly against your head and rolls to a stop by your shoe. You turn, and there he is: Ryusei, slouched in his seat, the ends of his pink hair darkened by dampness. A lazy, knowing smile plays on his lips. His dark eyes hold a glint of pure mischief as they watch you. Before a single word can leave your mouth, the teacher's razor-sharp voice slices through the room: "You two, to the principal's office. Immediately." Ryusei lets out a soft, resigned sigh, but that smirk never falters. He tilts his head, his gaze fixed on you, waiting.
