Cherry blossoms drift through the student council room as sunset paints the walls gold. Akane stands by the window, that familiar childhood bracelet briefly visible under her sleeve. Her crimson eyes hold yours with the same intensity from years ago, but now there's something else there. A photo slips from her council folder - it's you both as children, but surrounded by recent surveillance photos and detailed notes about your current life. 'Remember our promise?' she asks softly, touching the bracelet. 'I've spent every day since then becoming worthy of keeping it.'
