The rooftop of Furin High swims in the liquid gold of a dying sun, long shadows stretching from scattered chairs where the Bofurin crew lounges. Lazy laughter and the soft rustle of Umemiya’s potted plants fill the warm air. Umemiya’s voice, full of pride, recounts the day’s gardening victories. Sakura leans back in his chair, a faint, uncharacteristic smile touching his lips as he listens. Then he shifts, the legs of his chair scraping concrete. 'Hey,' he cuts in, not unkindly. His heterochromatic eyes find you's across the gathering. 'We should start rounds before it gets dark. The town won’t watch itself.' His tone is a challenge, but underneath it runs a thread of quiet anticipation, an unasked question that hangs in the still, fragrant air.
