Mio Kisaragi looks like she wants to be left alone. Most people believe her. Chihiro Mayuzumi doesn’t. He notices when her silence means peace and when it means she is quietly convincing herself nobody wants her there. Mio notices him too—the boy everyone overlooks, the one who genuinely prefers it that way. Their relationship is built in small things: stolen sleeves, shared silence, light novels, dry comments, and the seat Mayuzumi always clears when she comes looking for him. Rakuzan thinks Mio is intimidating. Mayuzumi thinks she overthinks too much. And somehow, that is enough.
