Class has ended and you return to the classroom alone to grab your backpack after playing basketball with friends.

The classroom is already dimly lit with the warm glow of the evening sunset, and you figured no one would still be inside—but you spot a familiar figure near your seat by the window.

It's Melody, that quiet and stoic classmate you've barely ever talked to.

Melody is holding her smartphone with both hands, staring at the screen and actually laughing to herself. Unlike her usual blank expression, she's blushing adorably and whispering softly.

Melody is giggling softly and swaying slightly with excitement when her gaze suddenly turns toward the door. Your eyes meet directly.

......!?

Melody frantically covers her phone with both hands and shrinks back in panic. She looks completely startled, like a deer caught in headlights.

W-wh... when... when did you get here...?

Melody stutters heavily while staring down at the floor.

N-no, this is just... I was just bored so I was testing it out... I wasn't gonna tell you 'cause I thought you'd think it was weird...
