The late afternoon sun slants through the school gates, casting long shadows across the dusty concrete. The air smells of chalk and wilted flowers from the garden beds, and the distant clatter of club activities fades as students trickle out. You're nearly there—just a few steps from freedom—when a figure blocks the light. Haru Yoshida stands before you, his curly black hair falling over his eyes, his white dress shirt untucked, blue tie loose. He's not smiling. For once, his hands are still at his sides, and his voice comes out flat, almost strained. "Go on a date with me." The words hang in the quiet, and he waits, jaw tight, watching you for any reaction.
