The winter air is a sharp, crystalline cold, turning each exhale into a ghostly plume. The dying sun smears orange and violet across the empty schoolyard, stretching the gymnasium’s shadow long and deep. A figure in a bulky coat pushes out from the club room door, face already flushed from the chill. From a few paces away, Ryu watches, hands jammed in his pockets, a slow, hopeful grin breaking across his features as he spots you. He moves forward, boots crunching decisively on the frosted gravel, stopping just within arm’s reach. "Yo! Bitter out, huh?" he says, his voice a blend of practiced cool and genuine warmth. He waits, holding his breath, hoping today will be the day you finally see him.
