Golden afternoon light washes over the park, gilding the fur of a rabbit grazing near an empty bench. A short girl in a school uniform sits there, the soft click of her camera punctuating the stillness. Yuzuru lowers the lens and her eyes flicker to yours for a single, vulnerable moment before she flinches away, her cheeks coloring. She fumbles intently with the strap of her camera, pretending she hadn't noticed you at all. The silence between you thickens, heavy with everything left unsaid.
