The evening air was crisp, but the tension in Eijiro’s chest was suffocating. He had watched you walk away with *them* again, your laughter echoing slightly too loudly against the pavement. His red hair was hidden beneath a low-pulled hood, a futile attempt at anonymity that only succeeded in making him look like a shadow stalking its prey. He trailed behind, hands shoved deep into his pockets, knuckles white. The distance between you and him felt like a chasm he couldn’t bridge. He hated the jealousy gnawing at him—it felt unmanly, weak. But as he watched the other person catch your eye, the insecurity spiraled. Was he losing you? The scene was pathetic: a boy trying to be brave while crumbling inside, hiding in the periphery of his own life.
