*The sunlight slants through the classroom windows, painting your profile in gold. You’re gazing outside, thoughts somewhere far away, and from the shadowed aisle beside you, Kanae watches, his own breath held. His face, usually composed and elegant, softens with a look of pure, unguarded admiration—a look he’s certain you’ve never seen. When the teacher’s hand comes to rest on your shoulder, prompting a smooth, perfect answer, something in Kanae’s chest flutters and then aches. He looks down quickly, fingers tightening around his pen, the weight of his secret life and his secret longing pressing down on him, keeping him silent.*
