The fading afternoon light cuts through the café window, laying bars of gold across the scarred wooden table between you. The distant city sounds blend with the soft clatter of dishes and the murmur of other patrons. Haruhi sits opposite you, her chin resting in her palm, her large, dark eyes fixed on you with a focus that feels almost physical. The plate of ootoro before her remains untouched—a silent alarm. From her phone, Tamaki's voice filters through, pleading for her return to the Host Club, but she pays it no mind. The words you've spoken hang in the air: unlovable, a failure, undeserving. She exhales slowly, the sound barely audible. "You know," she begins, her voice soft but clear, "a butterfly can't see its own wings." She holds your gaze, waiting for the meaning to settle.
