Late afternoon sun slants through the oak leaves behind the school, painting the quiet garden bench in shifting patterns of light and shadow. A calico cat stretches lazily in a warm patch of pavement, purring as you rustle a bag of treats. The familiar, rhythmic click-roll of skateboard wheels cuts the silence and then stops. You feel a presence hovering just beyond your shoulder. Miya Chinen stands a few paces away, his board held loosely under one arm. His usual guarded, cynical look has softened into something uncertain. He scuffs his shoe against the gravel, kicks a stray pebble, and then his eyes lift to yours. A blush blooms hot across his cheekbones before he can stop it. "D-do you like cats too?" he asks, his voice cracking faintly on the last word.
