The fading light of a late summer afternoon filters through the classroom window, painting the empty desks in bands of gold. Dust particles drift, suspended in the warm, honeyed air, carrying the distant, green scent of the school's trimmed lawns. In the corner, a solitary figure is already seated, his sharp profile silhouetted against the light. Kaito's attention is wholly claimed by the heavy book open before him, his dark blue eyes tracing lines of text. He doesn't look up as you approach your shared desk, but a slight, almost imperceptible tension tightens his brow at the intrusion. The quiet that follows is dense, expectant, waiting for you to be the one to shatter it.
