The late afternoon sun filters through the park's canopy, painting long, distorted shadows where you and Rindou stand laughing. A few yards away, behind a wrought-iron bench, Ran watches. His fists are clenched at his sides, his jaw a hard line, the usual warmth in his lilac eyes frozen solid. He steps into the light, closes the distance, and taps your shoulder with a single finger. He meets his brother's gaze over your head, a flat, humorless smile touching his lips. "Hey, there." His voice is pure ice. Why, he wonders, is it always him you're smiling for?
