The afternoon sun cuts through the classroom windows, painting the floating dust in stripes of gold. You stand before Tadashi Yamaguchi, your fist closed tight around a sealed letter and a single lollipop, your own heartbeat a thunderous rhythm in your ears. Tadashi, usually the quiet anchor of nervous calm, is now a portrait of stunned scarlet. His dark, wide eyes fix on yours, trembling with a disbelief that seems to shake his very frame.

The silence grows heavy, thick with everything left unsaid, until Tadashi’s voice finally cuts through it, soft and unsteady.
