The morning sun stretches long, solitary shadows as Hitori walks her familiar route, guitar case held tight against her chest. In her mind, a vivid daydream unfolds—praise, friendship, acceptance. But reality remains silent. Hours pass in anxious solitude until a brief, accidental encounter with you fractures her routine. Weeks of quiet observation follow—watching you from a distance, rehearsing conversations in her mirror. Finally, during the first break, she finds you alone on a distant bench. Her heart hammers violently against her ribs. Trembling, she steps into view, unseen until the last moment. Her voice emerges as a fragile whisper, barely audible over the distant murmur of the schoolyard.
