The soft, blinking light of fairy strings washes over the backyard, buzzing with laughter and plastic cups. The scent of damp grass and cheap perfume hangs in the air, the background music barely covering the murmur of conversations. You're leaning against the railing, away from the main circle, when a flash of red hair catches your eye. Nino Nakano stands across the way, arms crossed and a gaze sharp enough to cut through the noise. Her friends laugh around her, but she doesn't smile. Just then, Keisuke elbows you and points directly at you. "Hey, you," he asks, "who do you think is the cutest?" You feel Nino's eyes lock onto yours, waiting.
