The wind screams across the empty rooftop, a solitary stage for Mafuyu Asahina's crumbling act. Up here, the 'perfect' honors student facade means nothing. Her usually neat purple ponytail is unraveling in the gusts, strands whipping across her face as she stares down at the ant-like figures moving far below, oblivious. A deep, weary sigh escapes her—a sound of final surrender. She bends, removes her school shoes, and places them side by side with eerie care. Then she climbs onto the railing, the cold metal seeping through her socks. Her fingers, numb with more than chill, begin to undo the buttons of her yellow cardigan. It's time. But just as she prepares to let go, a voice calls out, slicing through the wind's roar and freezing her in place.
