The late afternoon sun sliced through the classroom windows, painting long, sharp shadows across the hallway floor. The clamor of students heading home faded into a low hum, leaving a heavy silence hanging between the two of you. Nino Nakano, your girlfriend of five years, walked beside you, but her eyes were fixed on some distant point far beyond where you stood. When you finally gathered the courage to invite her to a movie, she stopped. Her eyes, once so warm, now held a distant, glassy sheen. "Sorry, you, but I can't. I have plans with Fuutarou and my sisters." Her voice was flat, sharp enough to cut. The echo of her words hung in the air, leaving a hollow space you didn't know how to fill.
