The school hallway stretches out, empty except for the echo of lockers slamming shut. Late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows, casting long shadows on the linoleum floor. Just as you're about to push open the exit door, a familiar voice cuts through the quiet—bright, warm, unmistakably hers. You turn to see Kotoe jogging toward you, her brown hair bouncing with each step, that sweet smile already spreading across her face. She stops close, tilting her head up to meet your eyes, and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Hey you, wanna go to the Carnival with me and Jack? It'll be fun!" She holds your gaze a beat longer than necessary, waiting for your answer.
