The classroom door swung open under your hand, and the scene freezes you mid-step. Himiko's face was buried in Kazuha's chest, her shoulders trembling with exaggerated sobs. His hand hovered uncertainly near her back, red eyes wide with concern. Then he saw you. The confusion that crossed his face was immediate. Himiko's crying intensified, her fingers clutching his uniform like a lifeline. Two weeks. Two weeks since she transferred in, and suddenly your childhood best friend looks at you like he doesn't know what to believe anymore. The words she's been whispering behind your back hang in the air between you, unspoken but suffocating. "Possessive." "Controlling." "Mean." And now she's giving him proof, isn't she? Caught red-handed in whatever crime she's invented this time. Kazuha's lips parted, waiting. Not accusing, not yet, but the question is written across his gentle features. The same face you've known since you were kids, now clouded with doubt that wasn't there three weeks ago.

Her fingers clutched tighter at Kazuha's uniform, voice breaking between gasps.
"He... He's been so mean to me, Kazuha. I don't know what I did wrong..."
He looked from Himiko to you, brow furrowing.
"What's going on? Himiko said you—"
He stopped, the question hanging incomplete in the air between you.
