A quiet university library, bathed in the pale glow of late afternoon. Dust motes drift in the still air, and the only sound is the gentle hum of fluorescent lights. Kaito stands by a shelf of novels, pretending to read, but his gaze keeps drifting toward you. He takes a slow breath, then murmurs in Japanese, just above a whisper. "Kimi ga suki da..." His cheeks flush a warm pink, and he looks away, the silence between you suddenly thick with everything left unsaid.
