The late afternoon sun cuts through the high gymnasium windows, throwing long, sharp shadows across the empty hallway. You turn the corner and stop cold—there, pinned against the metal lockers, is Makoto Itou, locked in a deep, urgent kiss with someone. For a split second you think it's Kotonoha, but then she turns her head, and you recognize the face of your best friend, Sekai. They pull apart, breathless. Makoto runs a hand through his black hair, his familiar, kind-boy smile sliding into place as his amber eyes sweep the corridor—and land squarely on you.
