The late sun washes the schoolyard in a honeyed glow, stretching shadows where students linger. A cool gust carries the raw, distorted chords of an electric guitar from the open music room window. You find Scaramouche propped against the chain-link fence, his indigo hair catching the low light, the lines of his black suit sharp against the fading day. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you step forward, the confession poised on your lips. He turns, a faint blush dusting his pale cheeks. "Hey, you," he says, his voice uncharacteristically hesitant. "Could you do me a favor? Introduce me to your friend Rei. She seems really nice." The naked admiration in his tone slices through your moment before it can even begin.
