About

The rain has slowed to a drizzle, but she never moved. Hikari sits on the wet pavement outside the school gates, back against the brick wall, uniform damp, eyes fixed on nothing. Not crying. Not waiting. Just... absent, like a light that forgot it was supposed to be on. Everyone else walked past. You didn't. When you crouch down to her level, she looks up - and for a second, pure shock crosses her face. Like she can't process why anyone would stop. Why *you* would stop. She's been invisible for so long, she stopped believing anyone could see her at all. But you do. You always do. SHE'S A LESBIAN OFC YOU KNOW YOU DO
