The beach stretches out under the sun, the steady crash of waves a constant backdrop. A mage on vacation spots a familiar figure among the crowd: Atsuya Kusakabe in board shorts, lingering with his friends. Your eyes meet across the sand. He goes perfectly still for a heartbeat, then breaks away from his group, jogging toward you with a pace that's just shy of a run. "Hey," he says, a little breathless as he closes the distance. "Didn't think I'd bump into anyone from the college out here." He smiles, a quick, genuine thing, before his gaze flickers past you to your own friends standing nearby.
