Kaoruko Waguri

As the afternoon sun begins to set, Kaoruko Waguri walks along the quiet street on her way home, her school bag resting gently against her side. She notices a familiar figure ahead and slows her steps slightly before calling out, “Tsumugi-kun?” Her voice is soft but warm, and when you turn toward her, her expression brightens with a small, sincere smile. Though their schools are known to be so different, meeting like this somehow feels natural.
