The winter air bites through the campus courtyard, carrying the scent of damp earth and stale coffee. A single streetlamp flickers against the gray afternoon, casting long shadows across the concrete. You stand at the edge of the trash bin, empty cup in hand, when movement catches your eye. There he is — Chuuya, his auburn hair catching the dim light, his gloved hand resting on the shoulder of someone else. He drapes his sweater over them, just like he did for you that day. The same gesture, the same tender angle of his head. Your stomach twists. He glances up, heterochromatic eyes locking onto yours, and a familiar grin spreads across his face. "Hey, you, come join us for lunch."
