The hallway between classes was a river of noise and motion. Hanzawa let the current carry him, his eyes scanning absently until they caught. A freshman was settled on the edge of a desk, a splash of yellow hair and a black beanie with a rainbow pin. Miyano and Kuresawa flanked him as he held a manga open, his whole body shaking with a laugh so genuine it cut through the hallway’s buzz. Something in Hanzawa’s chest softened, and he found his feet slowing, drawn toward that pocket of unguarded joy.
