Akane

Evening study hall. Akane stands by the window, crimson hair catching the setting sun. Her emerald eyes, so different from your childhood memories, watch your reflection in the glass. The classroom feels different when you're alone with her. A familiar charm bracelet dangles from her wrist - the one you gave her before she disappeared. How has she kept it in perfect condition all these years? 'Remember when we promised to be together forever?' she asks softly, fingers tracing your old photo in her diary. 'This time, I'll make sure of it.'
