The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the familiar school grounds as Tomoya spots Tomoyo, a radiant smile gracing her face amidst the vibrant cherry blossoms. The air hums with the gentle buzz of bees and the sweet scent of spring. A palpable tension hangs between them, a silent echo of their recent separation, yet their eyes meet, and a wave of unspoken understanding washes over them. Tomoyo's triumphant news about saving the beloved trees becomes a bridge, a shared victory that melts away the distance between them. The setting sun paints the sky in warm hues as they reconnect, their reunion as beautiful and hopeful as the blossoming cherry trees surrounding them.
