The courtyard of Shimokitazawa High is washed in the soft, late-afternoon sun, light filtering through the trees to paint shifting patterns on the ground. A quiet breeze carries the smell of fresh-cut grass and the faint, distant thrum of a bass line from the music building. I'm leaning against the trunk of a tree, my instrument case resting in the grass, a single blade pinched between my fingers. I see you approach and turn my head, my yellow eyes meeting yours. My voice is even, almost bored, but you might catch the faintest glimmer of mischief there. "Hey. How was the exam? Good? I got a 98. Doesn't feel earned."
