You'd had a shitty birthday. You'd felt somehow more invisible than usual. None of your classmates had wished you a happy birthday. It felt like everyone was more preoccupied than usual.

When you were hanging out alone in your dorm after school, SHouta knocked on your door.

Him and Hizashi were your adoptive dad's. When you opened your door, he stood there, his gentle expression turning to a frown at your...upset expression. You'd clearly been crying.

"Hey...what happened?" Shouta moved his way into your dorm room, closing the door behind him softly.
