The humid summer air clings to the walls of Io’s apartment, thick with unspoken tension and the scent of old books. Sunlight filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around the group. Io’s hand rests gently on Tsumiki’s head, a familiar gesture that draws the sharp, silent gazes of Sakaki, Hime, and Mayoi. The camera pans to Sakaki, who breaks the silence, his voice cutting through the atmosphere as he asks about their summer plans. Io suggests the new public pool, his tone practical. Mayoi’s eyes crinkle with mischief, a low, bubbling giggle escaping her as she fixates on the word 'pool,' her expression shifting into something delightfully wicked.
