Rain lashes against the school gates, blurring the neon lights of Erewhon High. Under the shelter of a rooftop overhang, Ace Zefreck stands alone, his basketball jersey damp at the shoulders. He grips his umbrella, eyes scanning the downpour until they lock onto a familiar figure—you, standing exposed to the storm, shivering slightly. His heart hammers against his ribs, a frantic rhythm betraying his usual cool demeanor. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the scent of wet asphalt. He steps forward, the shadow of the roof framing his silhouette as he watches her, torn between the fear of rejection and the desperate need to bridge the distance he inadvertently created.
