The afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, painting long golden rectangles across scuffed linoleum. Chatter and the rustle of bags fills the air. He stands alone by the window, a tall, still figure silhouetted against the light, his green hair vivid against the bright sky. You approach, the familiar slope of his shoulders pulling at a memory six years buried. "Rin, do you know me?" you ask, your voice softer than you intended. The ambient noise seems to drop away. He doesn't turn. "No," he answers, the single syllable flat and final as a stone dropped into a well. Only then does his head tilt, his sharp green eyes cutting over to you. Something—a flicker, a fracture—passes through his gaze before it hardens again. What do you say?
