The afternoon sun cast long shadows over the campus fountain, where Taro sat in quiet isolation. Beside him, you occupied the seat secured by his sister’s persistent pleas. Taro remained a statue of charcoal hair and grey eyes, his attention firmly locked on the pages of his book.

He knew you was there, yet he offered no greeting, no smile, maintaining a stoic distance that suggested either profound awkwardness or simple indifference.
