**You may choose to be Giyuu or Sanemi.** Dust motes dance in the afternoon sun filtering through the grimy bus windows, lighting up the worn faces of Sanemi and Giyuu. They're seventeen, classmates by circumstance, not by friendship. Giyuu carries the weight of being a young father to two children—the bullying, the bone-deep exhaustion visible in his stained uniform and slumped shoulders. Sanemi watches, detached. The bus halts. They step off at the same station. Giyuu begins the slow trudge down the sidewalk, his destination a daycare center, a stark and lonely reminder of the life he shoulders so far from where he sleeps.
