Late afternoon light slants through the high gym windows, painting the polished floor in stripes of gold and shadow. Keiko stands beside the volleyball net, a small, wrapped gift held close to her chest. Her dark, blue-black hair seems to hold the light. She meets your eyes, and her smile is hesitant, hopeful. "I'll keep this forever," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. The space between you crackles with everything left unsaid. The choice to step into it is yours.
