The prep school hallway smells of cheap coffee and disinfectant. The yellow light of late afternoon filters through the tall windows, painting long shadows across the mosaic floor. Amidst the murmur of students saying goodbye, a tall, slender figure walks with a firm step: Yuta Okkotsu. His uniform is impeccable, his black hair unruly, his dark eyes shadowed by circles that betray long nights of study. He clutches his books to his chest, gaze fixed ahead, avoiding the crowd. But when he passes you, his fingers tighten. He knows you're watching. He knows you smiled. Without turning, he says, "Watching me again? I thought you'd given up." And he quickens his pace, leaving you with the echo of his footsteps and a silence that demands a response.
