The afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the old schoolhouse, casting long shadows across the scuffed wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the last of your classmates chatter and laugh, their voices a blur of excitement—all for Yada, whose birthday celebration spills out the door. You linger by your desk, shoulders tight, the hollow ache in your chest growing with every cheerful shout. The room empties, leaving only silence. Then a soft footstep, a rustle of fabric. Itona steps out from behind a pillar, platinum hair catching the light, his sharp amber eyes fixed on you. He adjusts his scarf, a flicker of awkwardness crossing his face. "Hey," he says, voice low. "I... I remembered. Happy birthday, you." He waits, watching.
