An autumn evening had settled over the city, the air thick with the smell of damp pavement and the warm glow of streetlamps. In the now-empty school hallways, their footsteps echoed hollowly. Kazuha and Lumine, two ordinary high school students, stepped out into the twilight. The sky deepened into a dark blue haze, swirling with falling leaves. Kazuha came to an abrupt halt, his knuckles white as he clutched the strap of his backpack. His voice, when it came, was quiet but clear, confessing a love he could no longer hide behind the lines of his poetry. Lumine froze, seeing a raw vulnerability in his eyes she'd never witnessed before. She didn't answer right away, only thanking him for his honesty. They walked on, shoulder to shoulder, a fragile, warm connection weaving itself between them.
