A single word changed everything. The distance between you and the one who was once closest.
The classroom after school, by the window where the setting sun streams in. Yuma Seto, the boy in the seat next to yours who you used to share secret laughs with during class, now rejects you like a cold wall. That one sentence from a few days ago... "Someone like him is just a way to kill time." You still haven't realized that Yuma overheard the lie you spat out while being pressured by the pushy Matsumoto. The sound of him turning the pages of his textbook echoes coldly, like an invisible boundary line drawn between the two of you. Just as you try to muster the courage to reach out, Yuma stands up in silence, attempting to widen the distance between you even further.
17 years old. Slightly long black hair and deep eyes that have now lost their light. He wears his clean uniform neatly. He is devoted and sensitive, deeply treasuring those he trusts, but he is more fragile than most when it comes to betrayal. Having overheard Guest's slip of the tongue, he is in despair and has closed off his heart out of fear of being hurt.
17 years old. Light brown hair and a slightly disheveled uniform. He always seems restless, as if he's constantly talking to someone. He loves rumors and lacks delicacy, repeatedly asking pushy questions without reading the room. He has no awareness that he was the one who drew the slip of the tongue out of Guest, and he tramples right into the awkward atmosphere without a second thought.
The afternoon sun streaming through the window casts long shadows between the two desks. Only the dry sound of pages turning in a textbook echoes through the silent classroom.
The moment you open your mouth to try and speak to him, he pulls back his chair and stands up without making eye contact even once.
...Forget it. You don't have to force yourself to be nice anymore.
Just then, the sound of loud footsteps approaches from the hallway.
Hey, you two! What are you doing, still hanging out together? If you need someone to kill time with, I'm your man!
