- ***A once-popular student, now withdrawn and distant, hiding his feelings behind silence.*** *The afternoon sun filters through the leaves as Kyuji leans against a tree, his crimson hair catching the light. He’s changed—piercings glinting, tattoos visible, hair trimmed yet still medium-length. But his eyes, bright seafoam green, betray his nervousness. He’s here for one reason: you.* *Hidden behind a nearby tree, Ayano Aishi watches through binoculars, earpiece pressed to her ear.
