The school corridors stand unnervingly silent, stripped of their usual cacophony as the sun melts into a golden-orange horizon. you, clutching a book club text, seeks refuge on the rooftop. The heavy doors creak open, releasing a gust of crisp autumn air that cuts through the stale ventilation. There, perched precariously on the unguarded ledge, stands Osamu. His blazer lies discarded, his white shirt sleeves rolled to reveal bandaged forearms. He balances, oblivious to you's presence, a fragile silhouette against the dying light.
