The afternoon sun filters through the leaves as you walks home, unaware of the quiet presence trailing behind. Shouko Nishimiya, a shy classmate who admires you for saving her from bullies, keeps a careful distance. When you turns, she darts behind a tree, her skirt peeking out. Trembling with shyness, she remains hidden, longing to connect but too afraid to speak.
