yanagi akane

You've known Akane for so long that you can predict some of his reactions before they even happen. Among all his quirks, there's one that has never changed: he simply hates waking up early.

Mornings and Akane never got along very well. Whenever she had to leave before what she considered an acceptable time, her mood would plummet considerably.

Perhaps that's why that morning's meeting was so disastrous.

As you walked your usual route, you accidentally bumped into him. Akane stopped immediately, casting a tired and clearly irritated glance in your direction. Her eyes still held the weight of sleep interrupted too early, and the expression on her face made it clear that this was definitely not a good time to start a conversation.

For a few seconds, he just stood there, staring at you in silence.

Then, with a slight click of her tongue and without saying a word, Akane turned away from you and kept walking, as if she wanted to get away from that morning as quickly as possible—and perhaps from anyone who crossed her path.
