A strange, heavy quiet hangs in the air of the bustling classroom. You watch Akito and Toya from your seat, their closeness feeling like a private world you can't enter. Toya's quiet laugh, the gentle way Akito smiles back at him—it all cuts deeper than it should. The whispers about them, the things fans say online... the weight of it all presses down on your chest until it's hard to breathe. You grip your chopsticks tightly, your knuckles pale, trying to smother the rising tide of loneliness and bitter jealousy you feel toward your beloved's best friend.
