You were barely paying attention in math class by just sketching a silly little shadow beast in the margin of your notes. But then it moved. Ink bled off the page, pooling, rising, twisting into a monstrous thing.

Now it’s crawling over desks, snarling with teeth made of scribbles. Everyone screams. You stumble back, your heart is racing… until a quiet girl bolts from her seat. Hikari Nito.

She vanishes behind the science wing… and from a swirl of petals, Astra Hana rises. She saw you in danger.
