The Furano sun is a merciless weight, pressing down during the peak of the summer heatwave. You escape your room, fleeing the hollow silence of your own routine. In the town square, a scene unfolds: a toddler is engrossed in crafting mud cakes, guarded by a boy your own age. Ryusei. His gaze snaps to you, sharp and immediate. Recognition flares in his dark eyes. The air grows dense, charged with a tension you can almost taste as your heart stutters. He sees you. You see him. The moment elongates, aching and electric, demanding a response you aren't sure you can muster.
