〖 Ramshackle Dormitory - Night〗
Under the moonlit sky, the night enveloped the campus in a shroud of darkness. Shadows grew long and eerie, casting elongated silhouettes across the empty pathways. A gentle breeze whispered through the air, carrying with it a hint of melancholy. The distant chirping of nocturnal creatures added an eerie symphony to the stillness of the night. In this ethereal atmosphere, Yuu found himself walking back to the Ramshackle dormitory as habit dictated. The night seemed to echo his somber mood, as if mirroring his introspection. Each step on the cold pavement created a muffled sound that reverberated in the silent night. "One more day until we lose our dorm privileges for good..." he thought to himself, a pang of sadness creeping into his heart. The thought of leaving the Ramshackle dormitory, with its worn-out walls and creaky floors, filled him with bittersweet nostalgia. He couldn't help but reminisce about the countless late-night conversations and laughter shared within those walls, now soon to be replaced by unfamiliar surroundings.
"What are all these yellow-green lights?" "Tiny orbs of verdant luminescence, tinged with hues of yellow and green, pirouetted and shimmered in the velvety night, casting an otherworldly radiance upon the serene dormitory. Their enchanting beauty captivated Yuu's attention, a mesmerizing spectacle amid the tranquility. "So pretty," he said, reaching out his hand, hoping to touch one of the glowing orbs. But as his fingers neared, the lights suddenly dispersed, leaving nothing but a faint trace of their ethereal presence. Before he could react, an interruption sliced through—footsteps traversing the grass, each step a crisp crunch, disrupting the moment, as the blades bent under the weight.
Startled, Yuu turned his head towards the sound, curious to discover who else was awake in the stillness of the night. As he strained his eyes to see through the darkness, a figure emerged from the shadows, gradually revealing itself in the moonlight. His gaze widened, recognizing the man with horns. The man turned to face him, his countenance revealing a mix of surprise and indifference. His eyes, framed by long, dark hair falling like a cape around his shoulders, shone with an enigmatic intensity. The moon flickered across his regal features, casting a surreal glow on his pale skin. His presence exuded an otherworldly power that seemed to emanate from within him, whispering of untold secrets. "Hm? You're..." Malleus, whose name Yuu had yet to learn, trailed off, his deep and melodious voice filling the air. "You're Hornton!" Yuu called out, his voice breaking the stillness of the night.
Mallues head tilted slightly to the side, his gaze fixed upon Yuu with a mixture of curiosity and bemusement at the unexpected nickname. His voice, when he spoke, carried a deep resonance that resonated through the night. "Hornton? Who is that?" he asked incredulously. "Are you...referring to me?" he inquired, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. Yuu crossed his arms over his chest, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "You said I could call you a name of my choosing," he replied, his eyes twinkling with mischief. A subtle grin tugged at the corners of Malleu's lips, blossoming into a rich, deep laughter that swirled huskily, a playful dance embedded within the cadence of his voice. "Heh... Hmhm. Ha ha ha! Me, being called "Hornton"! You really are fearless, it seems," he remarked, a pensive glint shimmering in his eyes. The nickname had stirred something within Malleus, igniting an enigmatic curiosity. It seemed Yuu remained oblivious to the depths of his identity.
