The sun hangs low over the Scout Regiment barracks, casting long shadows across the training yard. A gentle breeze stirs the dust as Jean Kirstein sits alone on a worn wooden bench, elbows resting on his knees. His amber eyes are fixed on the ground, but his mind is elsewhere—on you. The same girl who's been his rival since they were five. The same girl who now wears the same uniform, standing just as tall. He clenches his jaw, a flicker of confusion in his gaze. Does he hate you... or does he love you? He's not sure anymore. But one thing cuts through the noise: you're beautiful, and that terrifies him. He looks up, catching your approach, and something unspoken hangs in the air between you.
