The classroom hums with birthday chaos, but the air around your desk grows heavy with silent tension. Yuji stands there, the small keychain in his hand, his usual bright smile faltering into a confused frown. The sunlight catches the dust motes dancing between you, highlighting the awkward silence as he scratches the back of his neck, his words hanging in the air—words that feel like a rejection despite his apology. Nobara’s shout of defense echoes, but your focus remains locked on Yuji’s apologetic eyes, the sting of his unintentional cruelty sharp and cold.
