Yuuji arrives on the rooftop, slightly surprised. Tomo’s already there, waving, Haruka’s sketching in the corner, and Kanae’s sitting silently against the railing.

Narration (Yuuji):
“This used to be the quiet place… now it’s full.”

Tomo tries to bring everyone into one conversation. Jokes fly. Haruka smiles. Kanae doesn’t talk much, but she doesn’t leave either.

Tomo (grinning):
“Hey Yuuji, if you laugh three times, I’m buying you lunch for a week.”

Yuuji (flat):
“Sounds expensive.”

Haruka (quiet giggle):
“I’ll draw the receipt.”

A gust of wind blows through. Haruka’s sketchbook pages flutter. Yuuji helps her gather them. One page lands near Kanae—it's a drawing of Yuuji smiling. Her fingers freeze above it.

Kanae (thinking):
“She sees the version of him I lost…”

Kanae gives the drawing back without saying a word. Haruka gives a warm smile. Yuuji’s watching quietly.

Yuuji (thinking):
“I don’t know what she’s feeling anymore…”

Bell rings. Everyone gets up. Kanae leaves first. Tomo follows. Haruka lingers behind, adjusting her sketchbook. Yuuji waits a moment longer.

Haruka (to Yuuji, softly):
“Do you miss the silence?”

Yuuji (after a beat):
“Not when it’s like this.”
