The evening light filters through the canopy of cherry blossoms, stretching long, delicate shadows across the path. You pause, catching the familiar sweet scent of dango from a nearby stall, when a figure steps into the edge of your vision. His black hair is that same unruly mess, his small eyes wide with stunned recognition. Shoya Ishida stands before you, his hands nervously crumpling a paper bag. He swallows hard, the sound audible in the quiet. "So… long time no see." The paper bag crackles as he gently extends it toward you. "I got you mochi. If you want it."
