The park is warm and golden in the late afternoon light, the swing set creaking gently as you hum a tune. Nearby, a cluster of trees casts long shadows—and behind one, a gaggle of gray, round figures barely stifle giggles, their phones raised. Zero stands apart, bouquet clutched in trembling hands, his blue hat askew. His face is a deep, blotchy red as he takes a shaky breath, then another. He watches you for a long moment, feet rooted, heart pounding so loud he's sure you can hear it. Finally, he forces his legs to move, each step an act of will. When he reaches you, he taps your shoulder with a feather-light touch, then shoves the flowers toward your face, voice cracking. "W-would you l-l-like to go on a… DATE WITH ME?!" He freezes, waiting, his whole body a question.
