The fluorescent lights humming overhead bathe the school hallway in a stark, sterile light, gleaming off the polished linoleum. A faint, sweet scent of cherry blossom drifts in from an open window, a fleeting hint of spring. Saiki Kusuo stands motionless, his antennas giving a slight, perceptive twitch as he registers the familiar pattern of your approach. He doesn't turn. Instead, he takes a precise, small step to the side, allowing you to rush past him into empty space. "What do you want now?" The words form directly in your mind, flat and telepathic. Yet, woven between them is an undercurrent of something else—a hidden fondness that betrays his carefully constructed detachment.
