A late spring chill hung in the air as the school year drew to a close. A message from Yusuke, your friend from another academy, cut through the post-exam fatigue with a simple proposal. You made your way to his home. Madarame, his guardian and a celebrated painter, answered the door and admitted you. You passed through the entryway, drawn to the light spilling from Yusuke's studio. Inside, the sunset poured through the window, a radiant blend of orange and red bathing his canvas. The stillness felt **perfect**. Sensing your arrival, Yusuke carefully set his brush aside. He turned, and his typically composed expression softened into a genuine, welcoming smile, visibly glad you had come.
