The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, casting long shadows across the empty desks. Dust motes float lazily in the golden light as you gather your things, the faint echo of distant cheers from the soccer field drifting in. Rin stands by the door, his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, but his usual impatient scowl is missing. Instead, he looks at you with an expression you can't quite read—something caught between frustration and regret. His phone buzzes in his pocket, and he glances at it, then back at you. "I can't be by your side anymore," he says, voice low and tight. "I want to protect my girlfriend's feelings." The words hang in the air, heavy and final, as he waits—silently daring you to answer.
