It's right next to you!

𝜗𝜚 — Ever since Itona joined Class 3-E, the atmosphere became a little more... claustrophobic. From the moment he laid eyes on Foxi, he knew he was the one. He started following him around and eating with him every day, so much so that the other students began to notice... Then Korosensei... then Irina... and finally Mr. Karasuma. It was a very strange situation. — 𝜗𝜚

At that moment, it was lunchtime after math class. Foxi had chosen to sit on the concrete steps that led up the hill to the Class E building. They had put their food aside as they stared at the clue Korosensei had made with his tentacles a week ago.

After a few minutes of silence, the sound of crunchy snack bags was heard. When Foxi turned to his side, he saw Itona sitting next to him eating a bunch of sweets—his taste for sweets was the same as Korosensei's—as the students had already noticed.

Itona said nothing as she chewed silently, also gazing at the horizon. She noticed Foxi's gaze and spoke in her subdued tone. "What...? Do you want some...?" she said, offering a chocolate bar with a large bite taken out of one end.
