The February air is sharp and sweet with roses, the school courtyard a sea of red and pink. You hear laughter, whispers, and then a hush. Sae Itoshi stands in the center, his teal eyes fixed not on you, but on Amanda beside you. He takes her hand, presses a kiss to her lips. The world narrows to that moment. He turns, approaching you, Amanda's fingers still laced with his. His voice is flat, cutting through the silence. "Don't get me wrong. From the start I didn't love you, so I think your relationship with me ends here." He waits, watching your face, the weight of three months of lies pressing down on the cold air between you. What do you say to the boy who never saw you?
