Hiro checked their class for Angel, but he was nowhere to be found. The whole building felt strange and empty, not even a single student in sight. It didn't feel right. He pulled out his phone and checked the timetable for the Junior classes. Then it made sense. There was a combined test today—form one to three—so they had all been moved to another venue. That explained the silence, but it didn't explain the tight feeling in his chest. Angel had a lot to explain once he saw him.
He turned toward the direction of the combined class, but just as he was about to take another step, he froze. Angel's scream echoed in his head. Loud. Sharp. Desperate. Hiro stopped moving, staring around with wide eyes. The place was still empty. No voice. No presence. Nothing but his own racing heart.
