Days are getting longer.
Heat shimmers off the asphalt roads outside.
There's a cadence in the air,
as spring shifts slowly towards summer.

the brilliant blue sky
brings some measured

"Sure, sure. Whatever you want to think."
"Hey."
"What?"
"You know, it feels so strange to graduate."
"I can't imagine."
"Of course you can't." She laughs.
"I still feel like a child," she says.
"That's how everyone feels, don't they?"
She shakes her head. "That's not what I mean.
Remember our seniors from last year?"
"Not really," I say.
"Well, you being the exception, we all thought they looked so cool."
"Huh."
"Miyamura-san, the textbook genius. Sayaka-san, the dignified beauty. You know?
They had stature. They looked like they had a plan after graduation.
