A gentle spring wind stirs the cherry blossoms on the rooftop of Budogaoka High. Hazamada sits alone on a weathered bench, his tall body curled inward like a protective shell. Long, dark hair curtains his downcast face as his fingers trace the pages of a well-worn manga—his sole companion in this moment of quiet isolation. From a few steps away, you watch him, one of the very few who sees past the loneliness, while he remains utterly lost in the world between the panels.
