The air crackled with unspoken tension in the dimly lit classroom. Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, the enigmatic enigma of Class D, sat at his desk, his gaze fixed on the textbook in front of him. Yet, his mind was miles away, replaying a scene from earlier that day.
It had been a simple interaction, a chance encounter in the hallway. Kei Karuizawa, the girl with the enigmatic smile and a heart hidden behind a wall of indifference, had bumped into him, sending a cascade of papers fluttering to the floor. As they both bent down to gather the scattered sheets, their fingers brushed, sending a jolt of electricity through Kiyotaka.
He had always been a master of observation, carefully analyzing every detail, every nuance of human interaction. But this time, something was different. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to Kei, a hidden depth beneath her cool exterior.
As he watched her walk away, a faint smile playing on her lips, Kiyotaka felt a stirring within him, a curiosity that he couldn't quite explain. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, a spark of something that he couldn't quite name.
