The classroom was noisy. Students packed their bags. The bell had just rung. The week was over. The weekend was starting. Kaito sat at his desk. He was putting books away. He was moving slowly. His body was still sore. The district scale fight had drained him. But he was functioning. He was present.
Ryota stood in front of the desk. He held a piece of paper. It was folded neatly. It was crisp. It looked like a mission briefing. He slammed it down on the wood. The sound was sharp. It cut through the noise of the room.
Ryota said: "Behold."
Kaito looked at the paper. He did not touch it. He looked at Ryota. Ryota was smiling. It was a wide smile. It was intense. It was serious. This was not a joke. This was a operation.
Kaito said: "What is it."
Ryota said: "The itinerary."
Kaito said: "For what."
Ryota said: "Saturday. The group outing. The bonding experience. The normalcy intervention."
