The cicadas were screaming in the trees, and the air was thick with heat and the smell of cut grass.

Y/n was walking home with Hikaru and Yoshiki, the three of them kicking up dust on the shoulder of the road.

Just ahead, two figures stood in the middle of the road, both in dark school uniforms despite the heat. One had white hair and a blindfold. The other had long black hair tied back, hands in his pockets.
