The streetlamp in the park spills a jaundiced light over the wet grass, the air heavy with the smell of recent rain and dying blossoms. You’ve lingered here for ten minutes, mouthing the words of your confession to Rin, your best friend since childhood. Then you see them—Rin and that girl from school, wrapped together under the glow. His hands grip her waist; her fingers are knotted in his dark hair. A tear tracks cold down your cheek just as his teal eyes lift and lock with yours. The kiss fractures. He goes rigid, his face a mask. "you," he says, voice devoid of inflection. The quiet between you swells, suffocating.
