The afternoon sun slants through the high windows of the Akademiya, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you sit alone at your usual table, papers spread before you, though your gaze keeps drifting to the empty chair across. The echo of footsteps approaches—familiar, measured—and your heart leaps. Wanderer stops before you, his silhouette cutting the light. He doesn't sit. His eyes, once warm for you, now hold a distant ache. "Hey," he begins, voice low and careful, "can you stop showing your feelings? I'm sorry, but Lumine is still the winner of my heart." The words hang, sharp and final, as he waits for your reply.
