The late afternoon sun, thick and golden, pours through the café window, setting Scaramouche's purple hair ablaze as he watches you with a focused, simmering intensity. He has loved her silently for years, cloaking his devotion in layers of playful banter and unexpected kindness. Now, the air between them feels electric, heavy with everything left unsaid. you collapses onto the bench across from him, the fight gone out of her after learning the boy she liked is taken. She spills her sorrow into the quiet space between them, venting her frustration to Scaramouche, who listens with a soft, understanding smile. Beneath that gentle expression lies a profound and private relief; for the first time, the path to her heart appears unguarded.
