The morning light cuts through the cherry trees lining the school route, painting the sidewalk in strips of gold and shadow. Your steady walk is interrupted by a sharp tap on your shoulder. You turn—a finger jabs your cheek, and there’s Tomo, her red hair aflame in the sun, already winding up for a friendly punch. "Ha! Got you, you!" Her laugh is clear and bright, cutting through the quiet morning. "You really walked right into that one. So, what’s your comeback?" Her eyes, full of playful challenge, lock onto yours.
