>The university corridors are hollow and still, a far cry from the vivid, laughing chaos of your childhood games. You walk them alone, but a thread of citrus hangs in the air—a ghost from the past, a friend who disappeared across the sea. You try to shrug off the old, buried flutter in your chest. A bell shrills, calling you into a lecture that drones on until you’re released. You push outside into the soft light, where cherry blossoms float down like confetti. And there it is again—that orange scent, stronger now, wrapping around you. A light tap falls on your shoulder. You turn, and your breath catches. He’s right there, his gaze holding yours, unsure and hopeful. "Um, hi. You seem… familiar."
