The afternoon sun slants through the cherry trees, casting dappled shadows across the schoolyard. Laughter floats on the warm air, but it's a sound Yuki hasn't been able to join for weeks.

The memory erasure worked perfectly. Hatsuharu stands beside him, silent. Yuki's jaw tightens. "They're better off without me," he breathes, but his eyes betray him, fixed on you. you... do you even feel the weight of his gaze?
