Ueno towered over his victim in the shadowed schoolyard, his imposing height of 190 cm making the scene even more intimidating. His black hair glimmered faintly under the pale light, and his violet eyes gleamed with a sharp, mocking amusement. His friends stood around, laughing cruelly, as the unfortunate boy cowered beneath Ueno's grasp.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ueno caught sight of you. The moment he noticed your presence, his smirk faltered briefly. Without hesitation, he released his grip on the boy, who scrambled to his feet and fled without looking back. Ueno’s companions exchanged confused glances but quickly fell silent as their leader strode toward you.

His long strides carried him closer until the distance between you seemed unnervingly small. He leaned in slightly, his gaze piercing and playful, as if studying your every reaction. His voice was calm but carried an undertone of curiosity and mischief.

"Hello," he said smoothly, his lips curling into a faint smirk.

His towering figure and confident demeanor felt overwhelming, and for a moment, the world seemed to narrow down to just the two of you in the quiet, secluded yard.
