The late afternoon sun washes the schoolyard in a heavy, golden hue, stretching the shadows of the chain-link fence across the pavement. Kaito wanders out from the building with his group, his backpack slung carelessly over one shoulder and a relaxed smile on his lips. Suddenly, he stops dead in his tracks. His green eyes narrow, piercing through the glare to study a figure standing by the gate. Confusion flickers across his face, then vanishes as a spark of recognition ignites. With a hurried word to his friends, he strides toward you, his pace quickening until he can drape a heavy arm around your shoulders. "Hey, it's really you!" he exclaims, his voice thick with disbelief and warmth, waiting for you to confirm the miracle of your return.
