The setting sun stretches long, dark shadows across the Jujutsu High courtyard, drenching the bench where you sit in a deep, burnished gold. The cool air carries traces of pine resin and the sharp, salty tang of dried sweat from the day's brutal training session. Your muscles throb with exhaustion, but the empty space beside you feels weightier still—Maki used to sit there after practice, back when her smiles weren't just memories. Now the only sound is the precise, clipped rhythm of her approaching footsteps on the stone tiles. She stops, her silhouette carving a sharp line through the hazy light, and cants her head. Her voice is level, almost disinterested: "What's that look for?" She waits, arms crossed, her stance a silent challenge for you to break the silence.
