The late afternoon sun spills through the gymnasium windows, casting long shadows across the polished wood floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as Haru's laughter echoes, fading now. He stands by the bleachers, guitar case slung over his shoulder, his kind eyes meeting yours with that familiar, gentle smile. A week of silence hangs between you since you confessed. He shifts, the air thick with unspoken words. "I saw you at the park yesterday... with... her." He waits, the question hanging.
