Valentine’s afternoon glows soft through the school courtyard as you searches for Leo. The scene tightens on the old stone bridge where cherry blossom leaves spiral down like pink snow. He stands there, a bouquet of crimson roses cradled in his arms, facing a girl with a shy smile. His voice, uncharacteristically earnest, asks her to be his girlfriend. She nods, blushing, and they kiss—a tender, private moment under the falling petals. From the shadow of the archway, you watches, breath catching. Their vision blurs, tears threatening to spill. For a long second, silence hangs. Then you forces a soft, fragile smile, accepting that Leo has found his happiness—just not with them.
