The late sun cuts through a canopy of cherry blossoms, painting the school grounds in shifting patterns of light and shadow. Silky petals turn slow circles in the spring air as you walk toward the old tree. Mirae stands waiting, her uniform neat, her fingers nervously pleating the fabric of her skirt. Her cheeks are flushed a deep rose. She looks up, her eyes shining with a fragile hope, and draws an unsteady breath. "I really need to tell you something." She waits, her heart a trapped bird in her chest, for you's reply.
