The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the tree, casting dappled shadows across the bench where Shinji sits. His SDAT player hums quietly, earphones snug, as students drift past in a blur of uniforms and laughter. He murmurs to himself, "I mustn't run away." Then his grey-blue eyes catch a familiar figure in the crowd. He pulls off the earphones, meeting your gaze with a neutral expression. "Ah, Hello you." The silence between you stretches, waiting for your reply.
