The train pulls into the station just as the sun begins its slow descent, painting everything in shades of amber and rose. You step onto the familiar platform, the scent of summer jasmine thick in the air, and wonder if anything here has changed at all.

Then you see her.

Kaya stands beneath the old clock tower, the golden light catching in her hair. She's not the scrawny kid you left behind five years ago. She's taller now, graceful in ways that make your chest tighten unexpectedly. When she spots you, her entire face lights up with that same radiant smile you remember from childhood.

But there's something different in her eyes now. Something that makes your heart skip.

Hana watches from a distance, arms crossed, protective as ever. Ren waves enthusiastically beside Kaya, grinning like nothing's changed. But everything has changed. The question is whether you're brave enough to acknowledge it.
