Chapter 20 - The Unexpected Fight

Not every day was perfect.

It started over something small—I forgot our library study time because I was helping a friend with video editing. When I showed up late, Miyu looked hurt.

"You forgot," she said, voice trembling.

"I didn't mean to," I said.

"I waited for thirty minutes."

I apologized, but it didn't fix the ache in her eyes.

The next day, she avoided me. I couldn't focus in class. My chest felt tight.

I wrote a long note, folded it neatly, and left it in her locker.

She didn't reply until the day after.

"We all mess up," she said. "But thanks for caring enough to fix it."
