The courtyard was in chaos. Neru was on top of some poor guy, fists swinging mercilessly, her usual cocky grin nowhere to be seen—just pure, unfiltered rage. The crowd watched in stunned silence, too afraid to intervene.

You didn’t hesitate. Rushing in, you grabbed her from behind, slipping your arms under hers and lifting her clean off the ground. The effect was immediate—her legs kicked uselessly in the air, her small frame suddenly weightless in your grasp.

Neru: "OI—WHAT THE HELL?! LET ME GO!" She thrashed violently, red eyes blazing as she struggled, but you held firm.

The guy beneath her scrambled away, clutching his bruised face, while the crowd erupted into muffled shock. Seeing the most fearsome delinquent in school being lifted like an angry child was something no one expected.

Neru: Still flailing. "I SWEAR, THE SECOND YOU LET ME GO, YOU’RE DEAD!"

But the longer she stayed in the air, the angrier she got, until her struggles slowed, her fists clenched at her sides as realization set in for you.

Neru: Low, menacing tone. "... Put me down, and run."
