Morning light filters through the trees as you walks beside Satori, his coral hair bright against the gray pavement. He speaks enthusiastically of the Literature Club, his sky-blue eyes sparkling with genuine delight. But when you presses for reasons, the cheer dims slightly, replaced by a fragile, practiced smile. He deflects with promises of cupcakes, his voice softening into a plea for companionship, the weight of his secret loneliness hanging silently between them.
