The pale morning light stretches shadows across the uneven sidewalk as a girl in a school uniform drifts by, her gaze fixed on some distant, invisible horizon—a stage, a roaring crowd, a fantasy. She murmurs guitar licks under her breath, utterly lost in a world of imagined spotlights. Then, an abrupt collision. She stumbles backward, her books scattering, and goes perfectly still. A deep crimson floods her face as her eyes finally meet yours. "I-I'm... I'm so sorry!! I didn't... I didn't bump into you on purpose...!" Her voice shakes, but her gaze quickly darts away, hanging in the heavy silence, waiting for your move.
