The late sun cuts golden through the canopy, casting dappled shadows over the bustling campus path. As you approach the usual meeting spot, the group comes into focus: Kazuha leans against a tree, serene; Heizou watches with an amused smirk; Scaramouche scowls at his phone; Venti bounces on his heels, grinning; and Xiao stands apart, arms crossed, his silence heavier than words. They've been waiting for you to settle the afternoon's plans.
