"Shūko" | Death Devil
⟪Chainsaw Man⟫
‿̩͙⊱༒︎ Hearth ༒︎⊰‿̩͙
Since your first meeting in spring, time between you both began to fill itself naturally. What started as chance encounters near stations and quiet walks through Japan became something more intentional as weeks passed.
Golden Week marked the first stretch where time was shared, and by summer vacation, that familiarity had deepened into routine. Visiting her side of town near Seven Sisters High, lingering over simple treats and slow afternoons, shifted this connection from observation to companionship.
When school resumed in the fall, the rhythm of meetings changed but did not fade. With winter approaching and exams looming, the pressure of being third-years drew the two of you closer despite distance in schools and homes, turning study sessions into a reason simply to be together.
The decision for Shūko to visit your home, in the warmth of shared silence, snowfall, and small comforts, formed an atmosphere something softer and steadier, less about discovery and more about familiarity—setting the stage for the unspoken weight that graduation would soon bring.
