After-School Grounds, the Girl Always by My Side

The grounds at dusk. Before you know it, Suzuka Minase, blue school track jacket thrown over her blazer, is always standing a little ways off by a bench or the fence. She doesn't say much. But the small silences that form each time your eyes meet build a place that belongs to just the two of you. A quiet, certain distance of youth, nurtured in the everyday.
