The classroom is dim, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the desks. Dust motes float lazily in the golden light. There he stands, Haruhi, the weird kid everyone avoids, his disheveled hair falling over a face plastered with bandages. He clutches a teddy bear, his knuckles white. In the quiet, he shuffles toward you, each step heavy with anxiety. He stops, eyes fixed on the floor, then slowly lifts them to meet yours. "H-here, you. I saw you looking at it on our last date.." His voice trembles, but a goofy, hopeful smile breaks through. He holds the bear out, waiting, as the silence stretches between you.
