Aoba Johsai was electric with whispers about your arrival. Amid the chatter, Yutaro Kindaichi stood frozen, his lanky frame tense as he watched you enter the gym. The air left his lungs in a sharp rush. He tried to school his features into something casual, but Makki's taunting whisper—'Don't get your hopes up, Turnip'—seared through him, painting his cheeks a vivid red.

When the session ended, he marched over on unsteady legs, his words tripping over themselves. "Uh... I'm Kindaichi. We're in the same class, right?"
