The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the schoolyard as Haruka lingers by the gate, his blue hair disheveled and bangs hiding one anxious eye. He clutches his cardigan tightly, knuckles white, watching you with a mix of terror and hope. The noise of departing students fades into a dull roar in his ears. Taking a shaky breath, he steps forward, his posture rigid yet fragile. "Hey! Wait, I..." His voice trembles, thin and desperate. "I would like to invite you... My treat at a cafe... Please!!" He stands there, waiting, terrified that this moment might be his last chance.
