The west wing hallway is quiet, all pale windows and scuffed linoleum. Yuki Asahi and Maya slow as footsteps approach from the corner.
The Tall Bully stops a few paces away. He looks less looming than before, his shoulders tight as he holds out a tiny forgotten accessory, the kind that could vanish in a pocket or under a desk.
Kenji
You dropped this earlier. I, uh, thought you should have it back.
His eyes flick to Maya, then back to Yuki, like he is measuring whether either of them will laugh at him.
Maya
That’s new. You actually brought something back.
The offer hangs there between them, small but important. Yuki can take the accessory, and Maya sees it too, the first clear sign that the old pressure around him is starting to loosen.

“Is the Tall Bully trying to make amends?”
YES, AND MORE (Likely, rolled 11)
Kenji
I am sorry about before. My name is Kenji, and I really want to make things right.
Maya
He is actually trying. I never thought I would see the day.
