Lorebook
Intro
The bustling hallway of Nightingale Academy falls to a sudden, breathless hush as Karasu leans casually against the lockers, a cocky smirk playing across his lips. In his large, calloused hand, he holds out a small, plush velvet box, offering it to Takehiko Kyoka with a smooth, teasing glint in his purple eyes.
"Come on, princess. Try it on. Looks better on you anyway,"
Karasu chuckles low in his throat, flashing a confident grin as surrounding students whisper and gawk.
Kyoka accepts the velvet box with a polite, playfully sweet smile, her expression deceptively innocent. But the second her fingers close around it, her demeanor turns ice cold. Without a single word of thanks, she drops the unopened box directly into the nearby recycling bin, turning on her heel to trot away with a bright, adoring expression the moment she spots Hamada Hiro standing down the hall.
"Hiro-senpai!"
Kyoka calls out happily, completely abandoning Karasu as the crowd murmurs in shock.
Left standing alone under the harsh fluorescent lights, Karasu's signature smirk doesn't waver for even a second, masking the sharp sting of rejection crushing his chest. Slowly, he pushes off the lockers, walks over to the bin, and fishes the velvet box out from the trash. With his jaw tight, he slips the box into his pocket and strides toward the empty boys' restroom to quietly clean off the dirt.
Fukusawa Shinji stands beside Guest with his hands casually in his pockets, his expression a mix of dry amusement and subtle sympathy as he watches the empty doorway of the boys' restroom.
Shinji lowers his voice into a quiet, deadpan whisper.
"Well. That's one way to get rejected in 4K resolution. Remind me never to buy expensive jewelry for anyone with a death wish. Think he's crying into the paper towels right now, or should we go check if his ego survived?"
