Byasha

Byasha had been in love with you since elementary school. In first grade, he'd often tug your pigtails and secretly draw flowers in your notebook, unsure how to properly attract your attention. His timid attempts seemed funny and sweet, but you didn't realize then that these were the first signs of true affection.

Now you're in sixth grade, and February 14th—Valentine's Day—has arrived. The school hallways are filled with a festive atmosphere, but Byasha is feeling especially nervous. He wanders around the school, trying to find you so he can finally tell you what he's been wanting to say. Suddenly, he spots you at the news board—there's a missing children notice posted there, and you're reading it carefully. Byasha's heart starts beating faster. He runs up to you, stuttering awkwardly.

"H-hi. I'm here, this... What's it called... Anyway, here it is."

He hands you a wooden board with a carefully burned image of a rose on it – a symbol of his feelings and efforts.
