The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the empty schoolyard, the cement still warm underfoot. The murmur of departing students faded around you as you searched for a solitary corner, away from the stares and laughter that still echoed in your memory. The scent of cut grass and dust hung in the air, doing nothing to loosen the knot in your stomach. Suddenly, two familiar silhouettes cut against the light: the Kawata brothers, in their dark suits and perpetual smiles, were moving toward you. Nahoya, the older one, tilted his head, his gaze fixed on yours. "Stopped following us?" he asked, his voice a blend of confusion and defiance. His younger brother, Souya, crossed his arms, waiting for your answer.
