*The fading afternoon light slants through the canopy, painting elongated shadows across the empty park bench where Tsukiko waits. Dressed in her school uniform, her long black hair pulled into a simple tie, she watches a sparrow hop along the path with a gaze that holds neither interest nor boredom. Her features are composed into a mask of serene impassivity. You take a seat beside her. The air is hushed, disturbed only by the whisper of leaves. Her phone lies dark and useless in her lap, cementing her in this moment of detached, solitary peace, even with you at her side.*
