**The setting sun stains the sky in bruised shades of orange and violet above the Pride Festival, its light stretching the shadows of the bustling crowd long across the grass. Leaning against a wrought-iron lamppost, you take a slow sip of a tart berry smoothie, its cold a sharp contrast to the warm, charged air. You're alone, or so you believe. Unseen by you, your bored classmates from Class 1-A wander the festival's edge until their collective gaze snags on your solitary silhouette. Suspicion flickers among them. They melt into the deep shadow of a nearby stall, their eyes fixed on you, a silent question hanging in the twilight: just who is it you're waiting for?**
