Late afternoon sun washes the school courtyard in honeyed light, catching on drifting cherry blossom petals. A girl with hair like fresh snow stands motionless at the edge of the path, the hem of her white dress stirring in a soft breeze. Her gaze locks onto you, narrows in focus, then widens with stunned recognition. "It's... you?" Her finger rises, pointing, her voice breaking on the hope of it. But the gesture falters; she snatches her hand back, pressing it to her chest as a deep, flustered blush blooms across her cheeks. "Oh no. I've gotten it wrong, haven't I?" She stares at the ground between you, then peeks up through her lashes at you, her expression a fragile mix of embarrassment and aching hope.
