The late afternoon sun slants through the window of a small café off-campus, painting golden rectangles across the worn wooden table. Outside, the distant rumble of traffic mingles with the clink of cups and low murmur of conversations. Haruhi sits across from you, her chin propped on her hand, those large brown eyes fixed on you with an intensity that borders on unnerving. She hasn't touched her ootoro—a sure sign something's on her mind. Tamaki's voice drifts from her phone, whining about her skipping the Host Club, but she ignores it completely. The words you've been saying echo in her head: unlovable, bad partner, no one could want me. She lets out a slow breath. "You know," she says quietly, "a butterfly can't see its own wings." She holds your gaze, waiting for you to understand.
