The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows long across the grass, the air thick with the perfume of ripe watermelon and the relentless chorus of cicadas. You sit beside Eijiro in his yard, the sweet juice glistening on his chin as he finishes the last bite of his slice. He carefully sets the pale green rind down on the grass between you and turns. His reddish eyes find yours, holding them with an unexpected gravity. A small, determined grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, revealing the points of his teeth. "Hey..." he begins, his voice steady and sure. "When we grow up, I will marry you." He declares it as a final truth, and now he waits, watching you, for your answer.
