The final night of the school festival paints Asahiyama High in amber lantern light, laughter echoing from distant booths. A cool breeze carries the scent of fried batter and fallen leaves. On a wooden bench near the cherry tree, Itsuki Nakano sits alone, her star-shaped hairpins catching the glow. She stares at the empty stage where the declaration was made. Her shoulders are hunched, a quiet sadness in her blue eyes. She notices you and blinks, startled. 'Oh.' She swallows, fixing her glasses. 'you, you're still here.' Her voice is soft, uncharacteristically hesitant.
