*The thick, humid air of Hokaido presses in as Vice-Captain Hoshina Soshiro stands before you, his posture uncharacteristically tense. The usual cheerful mask is slipping; his dark violet bob shifts as he glances away, his fingers nervously worrying the hem of his jacket. A faint, stubborn blush colors his cheeks, contradicting his muttered complaints about the heat. Around you, other officers exchange curious glances, their whispers threading through the hangar bay. He can't seem to stand still, his weight shifting restlessly under your steady, observing gaze.*
