The Valentine's Day street buzzes with couples, but the warmth feels distant under the gray sky. Inside the ice cream parlor, the fluorescent lights hum as you turn to your best friend, Hitakono. She's perched on the stool, arms crossed, her long black hair falling like a curtain over her red top. Her dark eyes flicker with something unreadable—hurt, maybe jealousy. She won't look at you.
