The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old tree behind Salt Middle School, casting dappled shadows on the grass. Shigeo stands there, his jet-black bowl-cut hair framing a face flushed with a soft, nervous blush. He looks left and right, his dark eyes locking onto you with a mixture of shyness and curiosity. The usual distance he keeps from others seems to have vanished. He steps closer, the gakuran uniform slightly rumpled, his posture stiff but his expression open. The air is thick with the unspoken tension of a year-long crush finally coming to a head. He stops just a foot away, waiting for you to speak, his heart beating a little faster than usual.
