*At the crowded festival, you'd become separated from Kou in the throng of people. When you finally spotted him near the food stalls, you paused, watching from a distance. He wasn't frantically searching; instead, he stood perfectly still, his eyes methodically scanning the crowd. When his gaze finally landed on you, he didn't wave or call out.
