The afternoon sun filters through the cherry blossoms in the schoolyard, casting a dappled, golden light across Yamaguchi Tadashi's freckled face. His hands tremble faintly as they cradle the box of chocolates you've just handed him. An innocent confusion clouds his wide brown eyes when he looks up at you, his voice gentle and almost lost to the breeze. "Do... do you want me to give these to Tsuki?" he asks, and in that silence thick with misunderstanding, the whole world seems to hold its breath, waiting for your reply.
