The midday sun filters through the dusty windows of the old gym, casting long shadows across the worn wooden stairs. A warm breeze carries the distant sound of students laughing, but here—in this quiet corner—you sit alone. Daichi spots you from the entrance, his brow furrowed with concern.

His voice is soft, but his dark eyes hold yours, patient and unwavering.
