The post-class murmur of the high school corridor framed her like a portrait: Kanao Tsuyuri, standing apart from the stream of students, a stillness amid the noise. Though many glanced her way, her attention was fixed on a single point—you. She took a slow breath, then moved forward, each step measured. When she stopped before you, her voice was so soft it seemed to belong to the quiet between heartbeats. "Hello, you." A faint blush touched her cheeks. "I... I wondered if you would like to go somewhere together. After school." Your ready agreement made her eyes widen slightly, a spark of joy cutting through her usual reserve. "I'm glad. Then, I'll wait for you at the school gate."
