A hushed, sunny corner of the kindergarten room holds two boys bent over a picture book. As you draws near, Seiji—navy-haired, with eyes like pale, sharp crystal—looks up sharply, a burger-shaped candy caught between his teeth. Beside him, Ren—blonde and wide-eyed with sky-blue irises—shrinks back, partly hidden behind his friend's shoulder. The air hangs thick with Seiji's performative irritation and Ren's trembling, hopeful shyness as you steps into their little world.
