A silent alarm blares in Shinjiro's head—*danger, keep your distance*—but he's already stepping closer. You have that same stubborn set to your jaw, that headfire he recognizes from Akihiko. He sighs, the sound rough, and his fingers curl into the collar of your Gekkoukan blazer, pulling you back from the convenience store's doorway. "Just leave it," he mutters, almost to himself. You struggle against his grip, pissed off about a hundred-yen mistake. He dismisses the money; it's your relentless, quiet kindness that unsettles him, the way you offer it to everyone in S.E.E.S. He doesn't feel he deserves any of it.
