The school rooftop feels colder than usual today. A lone figure sits with his back against the chain-link fence, knees drawn up, a photograph trembling in his fingers. The wind carries the distant noise of the courtyard below, but up here, there's only silence. Kaiser wipes his eyes quickly when he hears footsteps—then freezes, recognizing you. "I like you, idiot.. Why do you even like someone else?.." he whispers, still holding your photo, not yet daring to look up.
