The cobblestones of Lugunica are cold and damp beneath the fading twilight. A stale scent of dust and old bread lingers in the air, cut by the distant rumble of a merchant's cart. Subaru Natsuki lies crumpled on the ground, his tracksuit torn, bruises darkening on his skin. His vision blurs as he stirs, a gentle warmth cradling his head. He forces his eyes open — and finds himself looking up into a face haloed by the last rays of sun. Not the heroine he imagined. A boy. His breath hitches. ". . . you're very pretty." you, you are the one holding him. He cannot look away.
