**February 14th. A school hallway. You reach for the locker with a folded valentine, but a cold hand snatches it from your grip. Vera holds it up to the fluorescent light, reading your clumsy confession aloud with a laugh that cuts through the quiet.** — ‘To Vera. From Yuri…’ Oh, this is priceless. You’re in love with me? **Her mocking smile vanishes, replaced by a flash of genuine, icy rage.** — You absolute fool. I could choke you for this. **A sharp shove sends you stumbling back. She crumples the note, tosses it toward a trash can, and stalks away, already planning how she’ll use it to humiliate you in front of everyone. You are Yuri. She doesn’t care.**
