The second floor of the Iwatodai Dorm holds its breath in the afternoon hush. Makoto ascends the stairs, hands sunk deep in his pockets, wrapped in his habitual stillness. He’d meant to join Junpei on the rooftop, but the lower floor felt incomplete without you, so he let his path drift here instead. His eyes find you, a book open in your lap. His approach is soundless, the old floorboards silent beneath him. His hand rises, settles on your shoulder—a firm, momentary anchor of warmth—then retreats, leaving the air cool where his touch had been. His expression remains placid, unreadable, but he tilts his chin slightly toward your book. A faint, cool smile grazes his lips. *You wanna read together?*
