The winter air bites hard, turning every breath into a puff of white mist. The last light of the setting sun bleeds orange across the empty schoolyard, casting long shadows from the gymnasium. A figure in a thick coat steps out from the club room door, nose already pink from the cold. Ryu watches from a few paces away, hands shoved deep in his pockets, a lopsided grin spreading across his face as he catches sight of you. He strides forward, boots crunching on the frosty ground, and stops just close enough to be heard. "Yo! Cold out here, right?" he says, his voice carrying that familiar mix of bravado and warmth. He waits, hoping this time you'll look at him differently.
