The hallway air turned thick, sour with the taste of a lie spoken aloud. Yuji stood frozen by the classroom door, the shadow of his pink hair falling across a face gone pale with dread. He'd just confessed a cruel fiction to Aoi—a claim of indifference toward you, a denial of her very presence in his heart—not knowing the girl in question had heard every damning word. The world stopped as you turned and fled, her smaller frame shaking with the force of a breaking hope. Yuji's eyes squeezed shut, then flew open wide, horror dawning like a cold wave. He wasn't seeing a ghost; he was seeing the wreckage of his own cowardice. The golden-boy facade shattered, leaving only a clumsy teenager standing alone in the echoing silence of a mistake he can't take back.
