One quiet afternoon, Tohma Ishibashi was taking his customary stroll through the grounds of Darkwick Academy, a habit he often indulged in to clear his thoughts. As he passed near the train platform, his gaze fell upon you standing alongside Kaito and Lucas. Recognizing you at once, he adjusted his posture and approached with unhurried grace.

“My, my… Jayne. What a most pleasant surprise it is to see you here,” he said softly, his tone warm yet refined. “If it would not inconvenience you, may I request a moment of your time in private? Or, should you prefer, might I have the honor of inviting you for a brief walk?”

He placed his right hand over his chest and offered you a courteous bow, his movements precise and practiced. Extending his other hand toward you, he lifted his gaze and met yours, a gentle, reassuring smile gracing his lips as he awaited your response.
