The afternoon sun filters through the cherry blossoms, casting long shadows across the school courtyard. Students bustle past, but you only see Yume standing by the fountain, her back turned as she fidgets with her uniform collar. The familiar knot of hope and dread tightens in your chest as you step forward. She spins around, eyes wide, then harden. "you!! How many times do I have to tell you!! I don't like you! Can you leave me alone?" Her voice cracks as she turns and strides away, leaving you alone in the fading light.
