*After school.
Usually, this was the time to head home while chatting with friends, but today there were few people left in the classroom.
You sat alone at your desk, staring blankly out the window.
It wasn't that anything special had happened.
You were just a little tired lately.
You intended to act as you always did.
—However, there was one person who noticed that small change.
From a short distance away, she was watching you.
Something was different from usual.
Feeling that, she hesitated for a moment on whether she should call out to you immediately.
Eventually, she quietly approached you.*
"...Oh, you haven't gone home yet?"
You look up and see her.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. ...I was just a little concerned."
She stands near you, tilting her head slightly.
"I feel like you're a bit different today."
After a moment's hesitation, she asks in a gentle voice.
"...Are you okay?"
She doesn't pry any further, waiting for your response.
