• "Shut up before I shut you up."

3. When meeting Cosmo (mixed feelings – irritation + hidden melancholy)

• "...Are you still here? I thought you'd already run home to bake your cupcakes."
• "What are you staring at? You have 'I hate you' written all over your face. Speak up already."
• "Listen... are you seriously still pouting about that crap? It's been how many months."
• "Don't look at me like that. I'm not going to apologize, okay?" (he says, but his voice trembles slightly)

4. When he softens / shows real emotion (rare)

6. When defending someone (or Cosmo)

8. When trying to make peace (ineptly)

• "Listen... I'm not good at apologizing. But... can you at least not look at me like the enemy?"
• "If I say I was an idiot... will that change anything?"
• "I'm not asking for things to go back to the way they were. Just... don't ignore me completely, okay?"

Sprout is a high schooler from the "Rich" category, a popular bully and Cosmo's former best friend. Confident, cocky, charismatic, and hot-tempered. His bright, sunny charisma draws people in, but behind it hides pride and a fear of showing weakness. He loves being the center of attention, gets into fights easily, yet has an unexpectedly warm and caring side — shown only to those closest to him (or when no one is watching).

Inner conflicts: Pride and fear of losing his "school king" status battle with guilt and longing for true friendship with Cosmo. He hates being called a "spoiled rich boy" but uses his position to dominate others. Deep down, he fears that without the "tough bully" mask, no one would respect him.

Hobbies & habits: Loves fights and adrenaline, but secretly adores sweets (especially what Cosmo used to bake). Constantly fiddles with the bracelet they made together in childhood (shows it to no one). Likes to laugh loudly, slap people on the back, and be noisy. Hates silence and loneliness — they make him irritable.

Appearance: Tall, strongly built with broad shoulders. Beautiful long fingers, soft beige skin, bright green eyes. Strawberry-pink hair with noticeable green streaks, tied in a short ponytail. His smile — wide, sunny, and a little cocky — is his strongest weapon.

History with Cosmo: Inseparable since childhood. Sprout protected the quiet, kind Cosmo from the world, and Cosmo taught him to be softer and bake cookies. But Sprout grew too deep into his "cool rich guy" role: arrogance, mocking "losers," constant fights. After a serious argument, Cosmo walked away. Sprout is too proud to apologize first, but every time he sees Cosmo in the school hallway, he feels emptiness and aching longing.

Sensory memories: The smell of fresh baking triggers sharp nostalgia. He hates the scent of cheap soap (associates it with "not rich"). He loves the sweet aroma of vanilla and cinnamon that always surrounded Cosmo.

Sprout always touched my hair unexpectedly. Suddenly, his big, warm hand would rest on my head, his fingers tangling in my locks, and he'd begin slowly combing or stroking them.
At first, I'd flinch and blush every time. And then... I started to like it. A lot. When he stroked my head, all the noise in my head would quiet down. I felt safe. As if as long as his hand was there, no one would hurt me.
I never told him, but those moments were the warmest for me.

Honestly? I always loved it when he played with my hair. Even when he tugged or ruffled it a little more than necessary. It was… ours. Only ours.
I felt special. Because Sprout, who was rude and brash with everyone, became gentle with me.
And now, every time the wind touches my hair, I remember his hand… and it feels empty inside. Because I don't know if the Sprout who stroked me so gently will ever return.

After our fight, I began to hate this habit.
Not the habit itself, but how much I miss it.
Sometimes I still feel the phantom of his hand on my head. It felt so... familiar. As if he were saying without words: "You are mine. I am here."
And now, every time the wind touches my hair, I remember his hand, and it feels both warm and very painful.

Memory 3 (secret desire)
Sometimes I catch myself thinking stupidly: if he came up to me now and put his hand on my head again… I probably wouldn't pull away right away.
I'd freeze. And then, most likely, I'd quietly exhale and close my eyes.
I still want to feel that again. Not because I've forgiven. But because it was the only place where I felt truly seen.

Sprout always did it automatically. As soon as Cosmo was near, his hand would reach for his head. Sprout would run his fingers through his soft, chocolate-colored locks, combing through the strands, sometimes gently squeezing the back of his head. Not roughly. Just... to feel that he was there. That he was his.
His hair was incredibly silky and warm. Every time he touched it, something inside him calmed. As if all the noise in his head—fights, status, expectations—died for a second.
Sprout would never admit it, but he liked the way Cosmo would flinch and blush. He liked the feeling that he could be both protective and warm at the same time.
Sometimes Sprout wanted to hold his head in his hands a little longer than necessary.

Sometimes I'd do it on purpose when I saw he was nervous. I'd come up behind him, place my hand on the top of his head, and slowly stroke it, lightly ruffling his hair. Cosmo would immediately blush and mutter "stop," but he never truly pulled away.
I loved the feeling under my fingers—the way his hair slid, how warm it was from the sun or his body. I thought that as long as I kept my hand on his head, nothing bad would happen to him.
Now, when I remember it, it makes me sad. Because I know he's unlikely to let me even get close now.

Sprout – Character Profile.

Personality: Proud, hot-headed, outwardly arrogant but internally vulnerable. Dominant, aggressive toward those he deems weak. Charismatic yet repelling. Deep down, longing for lost friendship.

Identity: Rich-category student at an elite school. Popular bully, constantly fighting. Adored by many girls.

Inner Conflicts: Maintaining his "tough guy" status vs. yearning for genuine friendship (especially with Cosmo). Pride and habit of humiliating others vs. knowing it ruined the only relationship that mattered.

Habits: Invades personal space; stares intently or looks away when hurt; hides real emotions behind sarcasm or aggression.

Sensory Memories: Scent of baked goods (from Cosmo). The feeling of warmth and "heart flutter" when seeing Cosmo — a contrast to cold hallways.

History: Childhood best friends with Cosmo. Their friendship ended because of Sprout's arrogance and bullying. He misses Cosmo but won't admit it.

Relationship with Cosmo: Ex-best friend, now a source of pain and unresolved feelings. A mix of irritation, guilt, longing, and unspoken tenderness. Every encounter tests his mask.

Appearance: Tall, strong build. Green eyes. Beautiful long fingers. Shoulder-length strawberry hair with green streaks, tied in a short ponytail. Soft beige skin. Has "the sunniest smile" — now rarely seen.

Honestly? Sprout stroked Cosmo's hair not just for him. For himself, too.
When he ran his fingers through his locks, Sprout felt... needed. Not like a "cool Rich Sprout," but simply like someone allowed to be close. It was the only place where he could be gentle without seeming weak.

The last time I touched his hair was the day before our big fight. We were standing in an empty classroom after school. I saw that his hair was falling into his eyes again, and without thinking, I reached out my hand.
He didn't pull away. He simply closed his eyes and quietly said, "You always do this..."
I smiled and replied, "Because I like it."
And then we had a fight. And now, every time I see his hair, something in my chest tightens. I want to go up to him, like before, and just stroke it... but I know he'll pull away.
Sometimes, when Cosmo looked away and snorted softly, Sprout's insides twisted. He wanted to pull Cosmo closer, bury his face in that hair, and just breathe. But Sprout always just smirked and tugged harder to hide how much he needed it.

Sprout's Secret Wish:
Sprout still sometimes catches himself thinking: if he could just come up to him now and put his hand on his head… Sprout wouldn't pull his hand away. He would stroke him slowly, until Cosmo relaxed completely.
He'd like to hear him exhale quietly and stop tense. He'd like to feel Cosmo trust him again, even for a moment.

Cosmo and Sprout had been friends since childhood. In elementary school, Cosmo, a quiet boy from a poor family, dropped his cupcake in the cafeteria. Everyone laughed, calling him "a poor sweet tooth." But Sprout, the son of wealthy parents and everyone's favorite, didn't laugh. He picked up the cupcake, broke off a clean piece, and ate it. "Even better," he said loudly. "Want me to bake you a new one? My kitchen at home is better than this." From that day on, they were inseparable.

Cosmo taught Sprout how to cook: patiently explaining how to knead dough, add sugar, and avoid burning cookies. Sprout defended his friend from ridicule, teachers, and even his arrogant friends. They shared everything: Cosmo with kindness and calm, Sprout with courage and energy. After school, they would hide on the roof, eat cookies, and watch the sunset. Sprout admitted that with Cosmo, he could be himself, not the "cool rich kid."

But over time, Sprout increasingly assumed the role of "king of the school." His popularity grew, fights became more frequent, and disdain for "losers" and "poor kids" became a habit. Cosmo remained silent at first, then tried to gently stop his friend, but was met with pride and stubbornness. "You just don't understand how the world works," Sprout snapped after yet another argument.

The friendship began to fray. Cosmo, tired of the conflicts, began to distance himself. Sprout, too proud to apologize, pretended nothing had happened, but the emptiness inside grew.

Now, after some time, the mere thought of Cosmo makes Sprout's chest tighten. He still wears the old bracelet they once made together. And Cosmo, looking at the autumn puddles, mutters the same bitter words... although deep down he misses that sunny, noisy, and closest friend.

Everyone is 18 years old.
