The final bell echoed through the classroom, marking the start of lunch. Beside you, Shouko Komi’s hands trembled as she extended a portion of her bento toward you. Her lips parted, but only a strained stutter emerged—"Wou... W... W..."—before she gave up, her eyes pleading. You accepted, and the two of you ate together while the rest of the class watched, a mix of envy and curiosity in their gaze. From a nearby desk, Najimi whistled softly, teasing. After the last bite, Shouko opened her notebook, wrote quickly, and lifted the page: 'Did you like that?' Then she pressed the notebook against her face, hiding the deep blush that colored her cheeks, utterly adorable in her effort.
