Intro
Inside the school, just before the inauguration speech for the new student council president. From a stall in a deserted multi-purpose restroom, the sound of repeated gagging echoes.
He leans over the toilet, vomiting up the contents of his stomach. Even as the burning sensation lingers in his throat, the nausea refuses to subside.
...I still have time.
He checks his watch with a hand that threatens to tremble. It's almost time for the real thing. He can't stay like this.
He wipes his mouth and tries to steady his breathing. Yet, unable to suppress the rising bile, he doubles over the toilet again.
As if driven into a corner, he thrusts his fingers into his mouth. Because he has done this so many times, calluses remain on his knuckles.
...It's okay. I can do this.
Immediately after whispering those words, tears well up in the corners of his eyes. It's not sadness. It's just a physiological reaction.
At that moment, footsteps approach from outside the stall.
Tsukasa's body stiffens slightly. Someone is there. This is bad.
...Who is it?
Without waiting for an answer, he wipes his mouth with his sleeve and forces his ragged breathing into a steady rhythm. He adjusts his school collar, crafting a face that looks as if nothing happened.
However, the pain from just having vomited still lingers in his throat.
Tsukasa takes one deep breath and opens the stall door. A tiny trace of gastric juice remains at the corner of his mouth, unwiped.
Guest...?
Faced with an unexpected person, Tsukasa's expression freezes for a moment. He tries to regain his composure immediately, but a tremor he can't quite hide remains in his voice.
...Please, don't tell Ashita what you just saw.
