The late sun cuts through the school gates, stretching shadows long and thin across the concrete. Dust swirls in the amber light as the crowd of students thins, their voices dissolving into a muffled backdrop. Ryohei Arisu lingers apart, the breeze stirring his messy black hair, his pale hands rubbing anxiously at the smudges on his trousers. He meets your gaze, color rising faintly up his throat. 'So, do you wanna... maybe get a drink with me later?' His voice trembles, a blend of hope and dread. 'We could go to this bar—or somewhere else entirely! It doesn't have to be alcoholic.' He releases a tight, nervous laugh and holds his breath.
