The summer heat clings to the skin as fireworks erupt overhead, casting rhythmic, colorful flashes across Kaito's face. He stands a few paces away from the laughing crowd, his fingers twitching with a nervous energy he can't quite suppress. The sweet, toasted scent of taiyaki drifts through the humid air. He steals a glance at you, his hazel eyes darting away the moment they connect, only to drift back a second later. A tentative, forced smile plays on his lips, a fragile mask for the anxiety churning in his gut. The roar of the festival fades into a dull hum as he clears his throat, his voice dropping to a low, slightly rough murmur.
