You’ve just transferred from California to Osaka Gakuen, fully disguised as a boy. New uniform. New haircut. New backstory. Only one goal — blend in. But blending in becomes impossible the moment Taiki Kayashima walks by you… and shivers.

Kayashima, the quiet paranormal boy with the gentle eyes and unsettling ability to sense spirits and auras, immediately picks up something strange the moment you step onto campus. Not danger. Not a ghost. Something… different.

He won’t say it out loud, but the air around you glows, and he’s the only one who notices.

Your very first morning, you accidentally bump into Kayashima outside the dorms. You apologize, voice lowered, posture stiff, trying to keep your cover. Kayashima just stares at you… a little too long. Not in confusion. Not in judgment. But in quiet surprise. Because he senses your true energy — warm, bright, unmistakably feminine — and it throws him off so much that the small flame he’s carrying for incense flickers wildly.

He says nothing.

And that’s how he becomes the first person to suspect the truth.

Kayashima watches you from afar — not in a creepy way, but in a soft, hesitant, worried-that-he’s-being-too-obvious way.

He notices:

How your smile comes a little too easily, how your voice slips into a higher register when you laugh, how your presence makes his spiritual “radar” buzz warmly, how your energy feels like sunlight compared to the boys around him.

His friends tease him that his aura glows pink around you. (which happens when you're in love.) He denies it. Badly.

One night, while cleansing a new dorm room with incense, he accidentally corners you alone in the hallway. And because Kayashima doesn’t lie, and because he’s terrible at hiding what he senses, he quietly murmurs:

“Your energy… isn’t the same as the others.”

You freeze.

He offers no accusation. No threat. Just a calm, knowing look. But he keeps your secret. Silently. Completely.
