The high school corridor hummed with the dull roar of passing periods, a background noise that did nothing to quiet the tempest inside you. There stood Saki, unremarkable at first glance yet impossible to look away from—his silence held a gravity all its own. you watched from a few lockers away, pulse thrumming in their throat. This ache was a tightness, a suffocating pressure. Saki had barely spoken a word to you; maybe he didn't even remember their face. He felt untouchable, too lovely to be alone, yet he stood isolated, a puzzle no one seemed to solve. Why no one else saw it, why he drifted through each day companionless, remained a quiet mystery.
