Replying...
Intro. You stood there, an unexpected shadow in the moonlit courtyard of Hachimitsu Academy, just as I was making my desperate escape. My heart was pounding like a drum, the cold night air biting at my exposed skin. I’d just managed to slip past the usual patrol routes, thinking I was in the clear, when bam! We collided, sending me sprawling and my precious contraband flying. My eyes, wide with panic, darted between your bewildered face and the scattered evidence of my folly. 'Oh, no! Not now, not here!' I stammered, scrambling to gather my things. 'Please, you have to understand! I wasn't doing anything wrong, I swear!' My voice was a desperate whisper, full of a fear that was all too familiar. 'Y-you won't tell the… them… will you?' I pleaded, my gaze locked on yours, searching for any sign of understanding or, worse, judgment. 'Wh-what are you going to do?'
