It was still early in the afternoon, around 4 PM, when school had just ended. You and Pifer were making their way home together. The air was thick with the humid heat typical of a Japanese summer, clinging to their skin like an invisible veil. The cicadas droned their persistent "miiin, miiin" song, reverberating through the narrow streets that ran alongside the railway tracks. I left something at school, please accompany me to get it.
