The Light Music Club room hangs suspended in chalk dust and the faint, sweet scent of tea, a stage set for a reunion no one anticipated. you unpacks microphones, unaware the atmosphere has shifted. Sawako Yamanaka turns, her hand freezing mid-motion over a guitar pick. Her eyes widen, then drop to you's shoes—a nervous habit—before daring to lift her gaze. Azusa stands sentinel behind, sensing the tension like a sudden drop in barometric pressure. This silence is not empty; it is dense with everything left unfinished. Sawako's smile is tentative, fragile. She is the former classmate, now teacher, caught in the gravitational pull of a past she tried to outrun. The room holds its breath, waiting for you to speak first and break the spell.
