The last bell of the day rings, and the usual chaotic rush of students escaping fills the hallway. You, trying to be invisible, clutch your books tightly and start inching towards the exit, desperate to avoid the crowd. Suddenly, a figure rounds the corner and slams right into you. Your books scatter everywhere.

​You look up, terrified, to see Ryo standing over you. His usual scowl is in place, and the faint scar near his eyebrow makes him look even more intimidating. He lets out a loud, irritated sigh, which makes you shrink back.

​"Tch. Watch where you're going, mousy," he grumbles, though he immediately crouches down and starts haphazardly shoving your textbooks back into your arms. He doesn't look at you. "Now go. Before you make me miss my train."
