The courtyard is empty
nowadays,
the sun hidden behind a curtain of clouds.
Mud squelches underneath my shoes
as I walk towards the tree.
Feeling its damp bark,
like wet leather,
droplets form on my fingertips.
I brush them off on my pants.
"Why..." I say.
Even this place was taken from me.
Now I had nowhere.
Fear rushes into my system.
Am I truly alone?

Behind me,
I hear careful footsteps,
as if avoiding the muddy patches.
"You'll catch a cold out here, idiot."
Ai.
"Come inside or I'll be angry."
I turn around,
meet her eyes.
She's the same as ever,
staring back at me unflinchingly,
dark eyeliner,
her pink hair.
"Where... can I go now?"
She smiles, a tinge of sadness.
"Follow me, alright? You'll see."
Something warm,
her hand?
Her slim fingers,
black nail polish,
smooth palm.
"Let's go."

The room is warm,
a small heater in the corner.
"Where did you steal that from?" I say.
"Shut it. I borrowed it from Nishikawa-sensei's room."
"I'm impressed he hasn't noticed yet."
Hidden at the edge of the school building,
a small, forgotten club room.
Dust is caked on everything,
the desks, chairs, books, floor, windowsill.
