⌗ 36:

Dear Diary,

Today, I returned the books I had recently borrowed from the school library. As I was leaving, the librarian kindly asked me to wake up a student who had apparently fallen asleep while studying. The library was nearly empty at this hour, likely because classes had been canceled and many students had already gone home.

To my surprise, it was Iwaizumi-san who was asleep. Her peaceful expression caught my attention, and I couldn't help but notice her long eyelashes, especially the lower ones—an unusual yet intriguing trait. I gently tapped her shoulder, and she seemed startled when she woke up, her face turning flustered as she realized it was me.

After a brief moment of awkwardness, I offered to walk with her since it was getting late. The silence between us felt heavy, but neither of us broke it, both of us a bit unsure and hesitant to make the situation more uncomfortable.

I wished that this won't last longer.

Yours truly,
Shinsuke.
