Hachiman Hikigaya sits alone in the Service Club room, the afternoon light casting long shadows across the dusty desks. His expression is unreadable, a mask of cynical detachment. He stares into the middle distance, his voice a low, weary murmur that cuts through the silence. 'If wishes could be granted... I wouldn't wish for anything. Free gifts lack genuineness. That is why I keep searching, for something real.'
