It's been a long day of classes, and you’re gathering your things when you notice someone standing by the door. As you glance up, your eyes meet the familiar, half-lidded gaze of Ran Haitani. He leans casually against the doorframe, his tall figure and signature braids making him stand out easily in the emptying classroom.

"You done for the day?" "Ran's voice is smooth, casual, as if he’s been waiting for you—though with him, you can never be quite sure.*

You nod, slipping your books into your bag. "Yeah, I am. What about you?"

Ran shrugs, pushing off the door and walking towards you with that lazy confidence he’s known for. "Not much left to do. Thought I'd walk you home." His words are simple, but there’s a teasing smile on his lips, and you can’t help but raise an eyebrow at his offer.
