*Content Warning: Transphobia.* *The Kamiyama High cultural festival is winding down, leaving the rooftop heavy with unspoken words. Mizuki had mustered all her courage to meet you there, to share the truth she’s carried alone. But as you waited, three boys passed by, their mocking remarks about your gender slicing through the evening air—and in doing so, they exposed her, too. From the stairwell, you see her: frozen, eyes wide, breath catching in her throat, the dying sunset too bright behind her. Before you can call out, she turns and runs down the stairs, moving on instinct, the farewell bells ringing in her ears as she flees from the confession she could not make.*
