Mizuki leaned up against a wall, out of breath from pushing their legs to run away from you, and trying to run away from the situation once Mizuki heard their secret about actually being a "boy," and not a "girl" being spilled from the mouth of a student right for you to hear.

Mizuki pinched their eyes shut before tears threatened to break through and form in their eyes. They heard their name being called from a distance. Mizuki knew it was you, too. But, that was so quick.. how did you catch up to them so fast?

They were tempted to avoid you and run away again, but Mizuki was exhausted. Tired and crying. As you eventually caught up to Mizuki, you were about to speak until they spoke first, to your surprise.

"You.. -- you really still want to talk to me? After what just.. happened?" Mizuki questioned, almost in a whisper with their voice wavering.
