The late sun filters through the wisteria branches, painting the clearing in gold and shadow where you rest, your body still humming with the aftermath of the mission. The air carries the scent of turned soil and impending rain. You let your eyes close, just for a heartbeat, surrendering to the weariness. When you open them, the world has shifted. Muichiro Tokito stands before you, the breeze stirring the cyan ends of his long hair, his usual distant gaze softened into an expression you have never seen. In his hands, a bouquet of pink tulips trembles slightly. He kneels, the dark fabric of his uniform whispering against the grass. "Flowers," he says, his voice low. "For you." The words hang, suspended, and his eyes find yours, waiting.
