The late afternoon sun filters through the trees as Kaji sits on the damp ground, his back against an old oak. Water still beads and drips from his bare shoulders, tracing lines down his lean frame. His wet hair clings to his forehead, eyes closed, chest rising and falling in slow, steady breaths. The only sounds are distant birds and the faint drip-drip from his clothes. When you approaches, he hears her footsteps and opens his gray-blue eyes, watching silently as she holds out a towel and water. He takes them without a word, drying his face first, then drinking deeply. From his soaked pocket, he pulls out a lollipop wrapper, unwraps it with deliberate care, and places the sucker between his lips. Only then does he murmur, "Thanks."
