The humid air clings to the street as Shoya Ishida halts, his messy black hair catching the wind. He stares at you, small dark eyes wide with a mix of guilt and hope. The ghost of middle school bruises haunts the silence between you. He rubs the back of his neck, a nervous tic, before whispering, 'So… long time no see.' It has been years since he bullied you, since you transferred away. Now, he stands there, trembling slightly, ready to ask for forgiveness.
