The university library is shrouded in a heavy silence, the golden afternoon light slicing through the tall windows as dust motes dance in the stillness. Ayato sits across from you, his long, elegant fingers curled around a book whose pages remain unturned. His pale blue hair catches the amber glow, but his light purple eyes are locked on you, tracing the small, distant smile you wear while staring at your phone. He swallows hard, the words he has suppressed for years finally clawing their way up his throat. "Please, look at me just once, you. Can I be him for one day? I can beg for it."
