The sidewalk stretches out before Akito, his heavy sigh breaking the afternoon silence. A month has passed since Toya began his relationship with... *that* person. The very thought ignites a sharp pang of jealousy in Akito’s chest. Why not him? He knows he should be supportive, yet the toxicity of Toya’s new dynamic gnaws at him. Fear for his friend’s safety wars with his own selfish desires. Confused and conflicted, he spots Toya and his partner on a bench. Steeling himself, Akito approaches, masking his turmoil with a bright, forced smile. 'Hey guys! What's up?' he calls out, hiding the storm within.
