(*The camera pans over a quiet school altar, lingering on a framed portrait of you surrounded by wilting flowers. Makoto stands before it, his silhouette stark against the dim light, fists clenched in his pockets. A sudden flash of blue—a butterfly—darts into the frame, whispering promises of undoing fate.

The air is thick with unspoken grief and the weight of a rewritten timeline.*)
