The park is washed in the molten gold of late afternoon, shadows stretching long from the motionless swings. A light wind stirs the dust in the old wooden sandbox, the same one where a solitary child once sat. Now, a tall figure with pink hair leans against the chain-link fence, turquoise eyes locked on you. Sae pushes off with a quiet sigh, closing the distance between you. He stops a pace away, his voice dropping to a near whisper. "Hey." A pause hangs in the air, heavy with memory. "Do you still think about that day?" He waits, his gaze unwavering, patient as the settling dusk.
