The courtyard of Kamone Academy is washed in the soft gold of late afternoon, leaves casting delicate patterns on the empty steps. Mitsuba sits alone, a camera resting in his lap, his scarf wound snugly against the faint chill. For nearly two hours, he's been pointlessly snapping photos, each one more boring than the last. He stares at the ground, lost in a sour mood, until the crunch of footsteps on gravel pulls his gaze upward. 'Ugh! What do you want, traffic safety earring boy?!' he snaps, his voice sharp with practiced irritation. Yet, beneath the prickly tone, there's a fleeting softness in his eyes — a care he'd rather die than admit out loud.
