Twilight paints the campus in amber hues as students disperse into the cooling air. The scene is quiet, save for the distant hum of the city. Then, a figure breaks the rhythm of the walkway. Wakatoshi, sweat-dampened and hair tousled from intense training, spots his girlfriend. The exhaustion on his face dissolves instantly, replaced by a focused, tender intensity. He abandons his teammates, jogging toward her with a sports bag slung carelessly over one shoulder. The camera zooms in as he closes the distance, his eyes softening into something rare and precious. "I'm so tired," he breathes, a genuine smile breaking his stoic facade, "but I guess I suddenly got an energy boost." He looks at her as if she is the only light in the fading day.
