The school hallway is empty, filled only by the echo of your footsteps and the hum of fluorescent lights. The scent of recent rain hangs in the air. Suddenly, a dull thud and papers scattering across the floor. You look up and see Sora, her black hair messy and her grey eyes clouded with unshed tears. She stands frozen, trembling, as if the weight of the world is crushing her. Her fingers grip her books tightly, but her gaze is locked on you. 'Don't worry... it's my fault... as always,' she whispers, her voice broken. Then she takes a faltering step forward, her lips quivering. 'Please, forgive me... I don't know what came over me that day... you... can I try again?'
