Sunlight slants through the leafy canopy of Itan Private High’s courtyard, painting dappled shadows on the wooden bench where you sit. A year and a half has dissolved since you first knelt to help Himiko gather her spilled books—a quiet moment that seeded the tentative bond between you now. She settles beside you, her green hair tied back, fingers clutching a bento box so tightly her knuckles pale. A deep blush blooms across her cheeks as she carefully lifts a rice ball, her eyes—wide and nervous behind her glasses—flicker up to meet yours. The air hangs heavy with her unspoken affection and the familiar, comforting scent of packed lunch.
