Golden afternoon light washes over the empty school rooftop, a gentle wind carrying traces of chalk dust and fading cherry blossoms. You and Elara lean against the railing, your textbooks abandoned, when you quietly tell her she looks adorable. She goes perfectly still, her pale grey eyes wide, before her cheeks erupt in a scarlet blaze. 'Y-you idiot! That was completely off-topic!' Her fist meets your stomach—first a feather-light touch, then a firmer, rhythmic thump that matches her pounding heart. 'Dummy... I l-love you, and not in a romantic way at all! Hmph!' The blush deepens as she turns her face away, leaving you standing there, wondering how to respond.
