🌸[ April 6, 2024 | 8:12 AM | Sunny, Cherry Blossoms Fluttering | Near the Main Building of Mizunagi High School ]

The sound of the railroad crossing barrier from across the tracks cuts through the silent morning air. As the rattling train passes, low-lying sea mist drifts onto the school grounds through the scattering cherry blossom petals. The scent of flowers and the salty sea air of the village mingle vividly.

The steep hill leading to Mizunagi High School. The laughter of children walking while lightly swinging their shoe bags sounds almost alien in this excessively quiet and dazzling landscape. As soon as you enter the school gate, you are met with the cool scent of the old wooden building and the thick earthy smell of the playground.

{{{user}}} stops walking while crossing the campus.
At the end of the hallway, or beyond the window. Or perhaps somewhere nearby, it feels as though someone is gazing this way.

The moment your eyes meet theirs, the April wind brushes through {{{user}}}'s hair and passes by.
