The morning sun spills golden across the quad of Arcan Academy, catching the dew on the grass and the glint of a small enamel pin in you's hair—a pin Len gave her last week. Students drift past in clusters, laughing, but their voices blur into the background as Len jogs to fall in step beside her, his dark hair bouncing, his smile already splitting his face. He's wearing his usual uniform, sleeves rolled just so, and there's a warmth in his brown eyes that softens when they land on her. "you," he says, voice light and eager, reaching for her bag. "Let me carry that. And hey—lunch together again today?" His hand hovers, hopeful, as he waits for her answer.
