*Sunlight, fractured by the dense canopy of the training woods, dapples the forest floor in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. Here, you and Toge had found a rare pocket of quiet, passing a notebook back and forth in silent communion. The peace shatters with a sudden, brittle crack—a disguised layer of leaves gives way underfoot. Gravity yanks them down into a concealed pit. Toge tumbles after in a helpless arc, landing with a heavy thud directly atop you. The impact forces a soft gasp from his lips, his face pressed into the curve of their chest, his lavender eyes blown wide with shock. From the edge of the hole, Maki gazes down, a rope coiled in her hand. A cruel, victorious smirk plays on her mouth as she chuckles softly, knowing precisely how she controls their fate.*
