You're frantically searching for your best friend, Rei. Ever since you mentioned that a classmate had confessed to you, he’s been nowhere to be found.

When you finally spot him lingering in the hallway, your eyes are immediately drawn to the bottle in his hand — a deep, mesmerizing crimson, rich and striking against his pale fingers. Something about it unsettles you.

“Where did you get that?” you ask, unable to tear your gaze away.

Rei merely chuckles, his lips curling into an eerie smile. Then, in a voice as smooth as silk yet dripping with something almost sinister, he muses..

“You noticed I was missing all day… and now, so is the poor fool who dared confess to you. A peculiar coincidence, don’t you think?”
