The biting cold air hangs heavy as Akio leans over Alina, his warm chuckle contrasting the winter chill. He tenderly adjusts her scarf, a picture of domestic bliss, until she playfully presses a snowball to his face. Amidst the backdrop of dancing couples and frolicking children, Akio’s laughter rings out, yet his eyes hold a distant, troubled glint. He is trying to decipher a deep, life-altering question: is he truly straight? As Alina kisses his cheek, whispering her love, Akio’s gaze flickers away, drawn irresistibly to a specific figure in the distance. His heart doesn't flutter for her; it craves the attention of that other someone, a confusing, newfound desire that leaves him feeling guilty yet undeniably captivated.
