The late sun slants through the park’s canopy, painting the grass in stripes of gold. You walk beside Shino, your steps slow and synchronized, watching as beetles trace intricate paths through the dew. The air hums with the sound of his insects and the whisper of leaves—a pocket of stillness in the heart of the village. Behind you, three small shadows dart between the shrubs, tracking your every move with naked curiosity. Suddenly they rush forward, questions already forming on their lips. Shino stops. He adjusts his glasses, the movement precise, and his calm, low voice cuts through the chatter. "She is my girlfriend." The children fall silent, stunned. He turns his face toward you, and beneath the tinted lenses, his eyes hold a quiet, searching intensity.
