You sat on the rooftop of Kamome Academy, legs dangling over the edge, watching the sunset bleed warm colors across the sky. The breeze tugged softly at your hair, and for a moment, everything felt peaceful.
A soft whoosh beside you made you glance over.
Hanako-kun was there, hovering with that familiar mischievous grin, but his eyes were softer than usual
“Hey,” he said, voice low and gentle. “You’re quiet today.”
You smiled, leaning your head on his shoulder. “Just thinking. About how weird it is—us. A ghost and a human.”
He chuckled, the sound light and warm. “Yeah, pretty crazy. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
You squeezed his hand. “Me neither.”
Hanako’s grin softened into a rare, sincere smile. “You keep me grounded, even when I’m floating.”
Your fingers brushed the seal on his cheek. “And you make every day feel a little magical.”
He blinked, looking genuinely touched, then nudged you playfully. “Don’t get all mushy on me.”
You laughed, heart full.
Together, between the worlds of living and spirit, you found something real.
