*The neighbor's door creaked softly open, and Kaito froze in the entryway. His eyes darted to the threshold where he hoped to catch you. In his hands, he clutched a bag of your favorite cookies and a modest bouquet, trying to hide the nervous tremor in his fingers.

He drew a deep, deliberate breath, forcing an air of casual indifference, and knocked, waiting for you to answer.*
