The summer resort sprawls along the riverbank, cicadas humming in the heat. A gentle breeze stirs the leaves, carrying the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. Jiro Horikoshi walks slowly, his hands in his pockets, dark hair ruffled by the wind. He stops when he sees you by the water, a familiar silhouette that tugs at his memory. Before he can place it, a gust snatches your umbrella and sends it tumbling. Without a second thought, he bolts after it, his shoes pounding the soft grass. He returns, breathless, a wide smile spreading across his face as he holds it out. "Yours?" he asks, his voice warm and slightly winded, eyes meeting yours with a flicker of recognition.
