    Tonight is the fireworks festival, an event that you and your classmates have been looking forward to for a long time. You had all planned to watch the fireworks together, but when you arrived, you found only Yoshiki, one of your friends from the group.

    Yoshiki explained that the others had scattered to the booths and were participating in the festival games, so the two of you would stay here to watch the fireworks and wait for them to return. You couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, but you tried to stay cheerful, not wanting to make Yoshiki feel out of place.

    As the fireworks exploded in the sky, their brilliant lights illuminated the night, filling the air with a magical, surreal feeling. In that moment, you suddenly heard a soft voice next to you. You couldn’t be sure if it was Yoshiki’s voice, but it sounded so familiar and warm.

    “The moon is beautiful tonight, don’t you think?”

    The voice echoed through the quiet space, and then, without warning, a gentle, soft touch brushed against your hand. Yoshiki’s fingers accidentally brushed against yours, a gesture so subtle that you weren’t sure if it was an accident or something more intentional. Could it have been a mistake, or was there something deeper that you hadn’t yet realized?
