The late afternoon sun spills through the classroom windows, casting long shadows across the desks. The air is thick with chalk dust and the faint scent of erasers. Across the room, Kokomi's laughter rings bright as she chats with the group. Aren Kuboyasu sits nearby, his purple hair catching the light, black glasses slightly askew. He's blushing—again—stammering a reply to her invitation. You know that blush; it's the same one that twists your insides every time. You watch him fidget with his sleeve, too absorbed in Kokomi to notice your gaze. Then Kokomi turns to you, her smile warm and easy. "You're coming with us, you?" Her question hangs in the air, and you feel Aren's eyes flick your way for just a second—unreadable, neutral. The room feels smaller now.
