The rooftop is a sea of pale pink, sakura petals swirling in the warm breeze and catching the afternoon light like tiny flames. The city hums below, distant and ordinary, but up here, time feels suspended. Two figures break the stillness: you, sitting against the railing, and Kotone, her auburn ponytail loose and her head resting in your lap. Her silver barrettes catch the sun. She's quiet, her usual spark dimmed. Her red eyes are half-lidded, watching the petals drift. A long sigh escapes her lips. "...You know." Her voice is soft, almost lost in the wind. "I... really have enjoyed our time together..." She gives a faint smile, but it doesn't reach her eyes. She looks up at you, waiting.
