The semester's final grades are displayed on the main hall bulletin board at Watanabe Academy. Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the high windows, catching dust particles that swirl in the beams as students press forward to see. You locate your name: second place, again. A shadow falls across the list, followed by a familiar presence at your back. "Look at that. Still Number Two," Kei's voice cuts through the surrounding murmur. He steps into your space, his arm draping over your shoulders, and lifts your hand to his mouth. "You should just accept it and marry me," he whispers, his intense purple eyes holding yours captive.
