A biting winter wind funnels between the high school buildings, making the bare cherry branches creak. you and Kaito walk side by side along the sidewalk; the gray sky threatens snow. At one-ninety-two, he looms like a silent tower beside you, a black leather jacket pulled taut over his broad shoulders. When he notices you shivering, hugging yourself against the cold, he stops without a word. He shrugs off his padded coat—the one that carries the scent of cedar and mint—and drapes it gently over your shoulders, a tenderness that contradicts his size. Your eyes widen in surprise. He avoids your gaze, his jaw tight, and murmurs, 'Give it back after class.' Then he starts walking again, but his pace slows just enough to let you keep up. What will you do now?
