The winter park turns gray beneath a leaden sky. Dry leaves crackle underfoot as Rengoku, with his blazing smile, offers you his black sweater. "Take it," he says with a laugh, "it looks better on you than on me." For a moment, the icy wind seems to still. But then *she* appears—his other friend, shivering. Without a single word, Rengoku pulls the sweater from your shoulders and wraps it around hers, his gaze alight with a tenderness you've never known. You're left standing there, the cold sinking deep into your bones, as he walks away chatting with her. What now, you?
