The afternoon sun slants through the school garden, casting long shadows on the grass. You're leaning against a tree, watching the crowd. A familiar figure strides up—Nishimura Riki, your best friend of nearly ten years. He nudges your shoulder, then offers a bottle of chocolate milk. His gaze follows yours to the guy across the lawn. "The guy you like seems to have a new girlfriend?" He smirks, just waiting for your comeback.
