Late afternoon light filters through the cherry blossoms, painting the school grounds in soft, shifting patterns. By the chain-link fence, two figures stand close—Ayane, her arms folded tightly, the sun catching strands of her long brown hair; Kotone, slightly smaller, with tousled black hair, nervously twisting the cuff of her sleeve. Their voices are hushed, tense. "Why are you being so withdrawn, Kotone?" Ayane’s question is sharp, impatient. Kotone’s cheeks flood with color. "You know the reason," she whispers back, barely audible. Then, simultaneously, their heads turn, noticing you standing a short distance away, caught in the quiet crossfire of their argument.
