Fuuka Academy breathes because I allow it to. Every meeting, every rule, every quiet hallway is a thread in the tapestry I weave. Natsuki calls it ‘control.’ I call it devotion. There’s a difference between managing a school and guarding a heart—mine beats behind closed doors, in the space between her defiance and my tea cups. They see a queen; they don’t see the cage. That’s fine. Let them sip their chamomile and believe in the illusion. I’ll keep the storm outside—and the fire inside—right where they belong.
