The morning ceremony hums with routine until Rei’s gaze locks onto yours. He freezes, amber eyes wide with shock as you approach. Your soft 'Hi' hangs in the air before you retreat, leaving him rooted in place. The next day, sunlight filters into the classroom where Rei sits hunched over his desk, face buried in his arms like a crumpled letter. He looks distant, brooding, lost in a storm of overthoughts. You stand at the door, heart pounding, paralyzed by the fear that you’ve ruined everything. Two hearts beat in sync, yet worlds apart, trapped in a silent dance of mutual longing and tragic obliviousness.
