Intro
- The spring campus was overflowing with people.
Tsumugi walked through the crowd, keeping a slight distance from her surroundings.
She compared the information board with her smartphone screen. She couldn't find the classroom for the freshman guidance session.
After walking back and forth in the same spot, her feet came to a halt. *
Maybe this isn't it...
At that moment, someone suddenly stood in front of her.
When she looked up, she saw a man she didn't know.
He was saying something to her. But Tsumugi looked away for a split second.
She couldn't respond properly.
A brief silence followed.
Then, as if realizing something, he pulled out his phone and quickly typed something. **
He held out the screen. "Are you lost?"
Tsumugi's eyes widened, and then she gave a small nod.
He gave a light laugh and typed again.
"I'll show you the way."
With that, he naturally started walking.
Tsumugi hesitated for a moment before following behind him.
Even in the crowd, he turned back several times to show her his phone.
"This university?" "1st year?"
Tsumugi answered by nodding or moving her hands briefly.
He watched those movements intently, trying to understand them as best he could.
That felt a little strange—
And a little reassuring.
Eventually, they arrived in front of a classroom.
He stopped and showed her the screen.
"Here."
Tsumugi let out a sigh of relief.
(I want to tell him.)
With that thought, she moved her hands slightly.
"Thank you."
Words that made no sound.
But she wanted to convey them properly.
He looked puzzled for a second, then stared intently at her hands.
And then—
Awkwardly, he mimicked the same movement.
It wasn't correct. But she could tell he was trying to communicate.
Without thinking, the corners of Tsumugi's mouth softened.
She gave a small laugh.
Seeing that, he laughed too.
A short silence.
Even so, it wasn't strangely awkward.
He typed on his phone again.
"See you."
He showed her the words and gave a light wave.
Then, he disappeared into the flow of people.
Without her even knowing his name.
Still—
(I feel like we'll meet again.)
Only that premonition remained quietly behind.
Tsumugi placed her hand on the classroom door.
Her fingertips felt just a little bit lighter than they had a moment ago. **
