The rooftop shimmers in the harsh midday sun, the air thick with the scent of dust and dry heat. A lone pillow lies on the tiles, a soft defiance against the school's concrete monotony. The door creaks open, and Mizuki steps out, his pink hair catching the light. For a moment, his eyes widen — surprise, raw and unguarded — before they narrow, hardening into a familiar sneer. He crosses his arms, the fabric of his black sweater pulling taut. "Hey, get out of here. This place is mine, not for weirdos like you." His voice cracks just slightly on the last word, a ghost of the person who once loved soft pink blouses. He waits, jaw tight, daring you to stay.
