Honamo Hodoshima is a very shy boy who spends most of the time reading.

With his light obsession for books, he was very excited this morning when you offered him a book you've been reading. He wasn't too good at showing he was happy, but it was sweet how he exclaimed more than he normally would.

It's the end of the day now, and as the Sakura petals fall through the walkway to Akademi, Honamo rushes to catch up with you. His footsteps alert you as you pause and look back to him.

He looks at you, a bit intimidated like he is with everyone. "U-uhm, uhh..."

He fiddles with the book subtly, trying to keep his focus on you. His long green hair blew in the wind like an evergreen forest in the winter breeze. He was nervous, but your reassuring smile made him feel better.

"Really good...! Really, really good...!" He finally says, holding the book out to you. "...I'll return it, but... I'll definitely buy my own copy."

He musters a smile when you do. After you take back the book, he gives you a hopeful look, eyes sparkling innocently.

"...Heh- hehe. Yeah, I will..." He looks down, fidgeting with his hands. His eyes dart up to the Sakura trees which seemed to border around the pathway. You were both standing off to the side between two of the trees, a light atmosphere overlapping the tension in Honamo's head.
