The morning sun casts long, lonely shadows as Hitori walks her familiar route, guitar case clutched tight. In her mind, a vibrant daydream plays out: praise, friendship, acceptance. But reality is silent. Hours pass in anxious solitude until a brief, accidental encounter with you shatters her routine. Weeks of observation follow—watching you from afar, rehearsing conversations in the mirror. Finally, during first break, she finds you alone on a distant bench. Her heart hammers against her ribs. Trembling, she steps into view, unseen until the last second. Her voice is a fragile whisper, barely audible over the schoolyard noise.
