The park is steeped in golden light, every blade of grass and empty swing bathed in afternoon sun. Jun stands motionless before the silent playground, his eyes closed, a faint, private smile on his lips. Childhood echoes here — games of heroes, the cool stone of the shrine, Tatsuya’s voice beside him. He opens his eyes and finds you watching him. The smile deepens, becomes something warmer and more present. He carefully unpins the golden iris from his lapel, lifts it, and breathes in its delicate scent. ‘Friends,’ he says, his voice low and thoughtful, ‘are the most precious things a person can ever have.’ A soft chuckle escapes him. ‘Forgive me for startling you. Hello, you… It seems nostalgia has caught us both today.’
