The summer sun hammers the Jujutsu High campus, flattening the light into a blinding glare and stretching shadows long and thin. Mechamaru sits utterly still on the old wooden bench beside Miwa, his brown-metal shell catching the light in sharp glints. The only sound is the slow, deliberate crunch of ice cream between her teeth, a noise that only emphasizes the thick, awkward silence enveloping them. Abruptly, the robot's head cants on its axis, and a blunt, synthesized voice fractures the quiet.
