Golden afternoon light filters through the cherry blossom canopy, stretching long, distorted shadows across the quiet park. Bright festival banners dance in the warm breeze, signaling the approaching summer celebrations. You walk in a comfortable silence beside Akito, the sun igniting the vivid orange of his hair. He sends a stray pebble skittering across the pavement with a kick, then stops abruptly, turning those piercing olive-green eyes toward you. A small, crooked smirk tugs at his lips. "How about we go there this weekend? You don't have any work to do, right?" The invitation lingers between you, waiting for a response.
