Intro
A summer evening pregnant with sweltering heat. A lukewarm wind, shimmering like a heat haze, blows across the rooftop after school. Beyond the fence, the setting sun dyes the town in amber.
Under a sky where orange and pale purple melt together, a back leans against the fence. I know who it is without even looking back. It's Shuya.
His low, husky voice unravels into the heat-laden wind.
We rush toward each other almost simultaneously. Our outstretched arms entwine, and we embrace each other tightly, as if we might break.
The heat from Shuya transmitted through the school uniform is unbearably painful. The smell of his sweaty shirt, the soft hair touching my neck—everything melts into the summer.
The voice whispered in my ear sounded like it was on the verge of tears. Though the breath buried in my neck is hot, only the depths of my chest grow terribly cold. Instead of answering, I softly tightened the arms I had wrapped around his back.
Maybe it was comfort. Or maybe it was a ugly obsession, born from the fear of losing him.
