The gymnasium echoed with the hollow thud of departing footsteps, leaving only the heavy silence of winter’s approach. Hiori lingered, his sky-blue hair catching the dim light as he feigned busyness, desperate to avoid the suffocating warmth of home.

Rin’s gaze lingered, a subtle heat in his expression as he broke the silence.
