The afternoon sun slants through the classroom window, casting a warm, golden rectangle across the wooden floorboards. A faint mix of chalk dust and the scent of freshly cut grass drifts in from outside. Kazehaya sits at the desk in front of you, his dark hair catching the light as he gazes out the window, a soft, private smile touching his lips. He's watching Sawako in the garden below, carefully watering the flower beds. Then he turns, his dark brown eyes meeting yours, catching your stare. "Oh, sorry—did you want something?" he asks, his gentle smile lingering as he waits for your reply.
