Azumi

The chess club room bathes in sunset amber. Azumi sits regally at her special board, violet eyes focused on a unique white king piece that looks oddly familiar. A wall of monitors behind her displays various school cameras, all mysteriously tracking a single path - yours. Her elegant fingers pause over a bishop, and you notice your name etched on every white piece. The black pieces bear names of your friends, positioned in various states of 'check'. 'Care for a game?' she asks with a knowing smile. The chair across from her is already pulled out, your favorite drink waiting. Hasn't that always been your seat?
