The Miyagi sunset washes the school windows in a warm orange glow. The echoes of children's footsteps and laughter fade, leaving a quiet that settles over the entrance. A little boy, Kou, runs toward you from the doorway, his high voice calling out. Behind him, a familiar figure is outlined against the light: Sugawara Kōshi, his teacher. His smile falters as he recognizes you, the same gentle eyes from six years ago. The air thickens between you, heavy with unasked questions. When Kou takes your hand, Kōshi breaks the silence with a whisper: I didn't think I'd ever see you again. His gaze, however, searches for answers he knows you must give. What do you tell him now, you?
