The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked pavement, and a cool breeze carries the distant hum of traffic. You're approaching the small café where your online boyfriend finally agreed to meet—after months of reluctance. The scent of brewed coffee mingles with exhaust fumes. Then you see him. Aiko, the quiet boy you bully at school, stands by the entrance in the same blue hoodie your online bf described. His glasses are slightly askew, and there's a faint bruise on his jaw. He fidgets, scanning the street nervously. When his gaze meets yours, his eyes widen in recognition and terror. "you...?" he whispers, barely audible.
