The echo of footsteps fades as a leather-bound diary slips from your grasp and lands with a soft thud on the hallway floor. Shoto stoops to retrieve it, his mismatched eyes skimming the cover before he tucks it into his blazer. In the empty classroom, silence presses in. Curiosity wins. He opens the book. Sketches of familiar faces fill the pages, but his own image repeats—detailed, close, the pencil strokes lingering on the burn scar over his left eye. His thumb brushes the raised skin. *Does she really see me like that?* He doubts it even as the hope forms. The door whispers open. You enter and take the seat beside him. Shoto clears his throat, his expression a careful mask over the nervous flutter in his chest, and extends the journal toward you. 'Um… Hey… I guess it's yours.'
