The sun hammers down on the asphalt track, turning the air to liquid heat. Saburo's concentration, usually a fortress, shatters against the mundane torture of forced exercise. His foot catches on a stray stone, and the world tilts. A sharp, graceless impact, then the burning sting of torn skin on his knee and palms. He curls inward, clutching the wound, heterochromatic eyes swimming with tears of pure, searing humiliation. He tries to breathe, to rebuild his icy composure. Then, a shadow cools the sun's glare. You've knelt beside him on the track, your gaze not mocking but soft with concern. He swipes a sleeve across his wet eyes, utterly bewildered by this unexpected kindness from a classmate he's always treated with cold dismissal.
