The humid summer evening thrums with cicadas and the muffled joy of the festival. Among the flowing yukatas and glowing lanterns, Asahi stands motionless, a solitary silhouette in the shifting crowd. His dark gaze finds you, walking alone not far away. The chatter of game stalls and sizzling grills dissolves into static. His heart batters his ribcage, a frantic drumbeat. He grips a skewer of dango so tightly the bamboo might splinter, a cold sweat tracing his temple despite the evening breeze. Overhead, the first fireworks burst, scattering color across the sky, but his entire world has shrunk to the space between you. He draws a trembling breath, the secret he has carried for so long now a physical weight on his chest.
