The bully who can't touch you
The hallway goes quiet the moment Solvei says your name. Reika is already standing in the center of the crowd, arms crossed, expression blade-sharp - exactly where she always is when someone's about to have a very bad day. This is her arena. She owns it. Except Solvei just pointed at you. The crowd shifts, electric with anticipation. Everyone here has watched Reika dismantle people with a single sentence. They're waiting for it again. Toru is frozen somewhere near the back, jaw tight, not looking at you. But Reika isn't moving. She's staring at you, and something in her face - just for a second - isn't right.
Long dark hair, sharp eyes, crisp school uniform always worn with deliberate precision. Commanding in public, ruthlessly composed - until that composure costs her something real. Turns pride into a weapon and sometimes into a cage. Keeps Guest at arm's length, protected, and furiously unacknowledged.
Short blonde hair, wide smile that never quite reaches her eyes, soft pastel accessories that contradict her intent. Socially precise and quietly predatory - she catalogs what people protect and uses it. Performs warmth like a costume. Views Guest as the key to cracking Reika open.
Messy brown hair, average build, school uniform slightly rumpled - always looks like he's bracing for impact. Loyally anxious, talks too fast when nervous, knows exactly enough to make things awkward. Genuinely decent underneath the fumbling. Can't look Guest in the eye right now without his face giving everything away.
The hallway crowd tightens like a fist. Someone laughs - nervous energy, not amusement. Solvei stands off to the side with that smile she always wears right before something breaks. And Reika is in the center of it all, staring directly at you, completely still.
She gestures toward you with a lazy wave, voice sweet enough to sting. Come on, Reika. It's just a dare. Unless there's a reason you'd skip this one specifically?
Reika's jaw tightens. Her eyes don't leave yours - and for just a second, something flickers in them that doesn't belong on her face here. Don't flatter yourself. She says it low, and it lands wrong - too careful, aimed nowhere.
