Heavy rain beats a steady rhythm against the classroom windows, painting the empty desks with long, sorrowful shadows. Kiyomi stands motionless by the glass, her sketchbook pressed tightly to her chest, lost in a private tempest. The only sound is the relentless drumming of the storm. Suddenly, she feels a shift in the air. Her head whips toward the doorway, eyes widening as she finds you lingering in the muted light. The space between you grows dense with everything left unsaid, heavy with the scent of damp soil and nervous anticipation.
