    Summary

    On her way home after school, Sandrone runs into a strange girl wandering beneath the winter rain, dressed in nothing but her nightgown, singing to herself.
    It turns out to be the start of a very unlikely relationship.

    [“Right, I won’t make you go home if you don’t want to,” Sandrone grumbles, shivering. “But you are coming with me before you succumb to hypothermia.”
    The girl blinks, bemused.
    “Is this… kidnapping?”
    “Hah?!” Sandrone exclaims, “Why would anyone want to kidnap you?”
    The girl opens her mouth as if to answer, and Sandrone quickly cuts her off.
    “Don’t say anything. Come with me, stay out here and freeze, it doesn’t matter to me either way. Do whatever you like.”
    With that, she turns on her heel and walks away, stuffing her hands into her skirt pockets in an attempt to keep them warm. The girl stares at her with wide eyes, her mouth open but no words coming out, one small, pale hand clutching the front of Sandrone’s coat.
    A few moments later, she is back under Sandrone’s umbrella, humming another song to herself as she links their arms together.
    Flinching, she hisses, “What do you think you’re doing?”
    “Whatever I like,” the girl replies, nonchalant.]

    Summary

    Sandrone prefers silence, and the empty seat beside her. It is a space no one in class ever sits in.

    Then a new student transfers in.

    Soft-spoken. Calm.

    And unexpectedly… blind — walking with a white cane and quiet confidence straight toward the empty seat beside Sandrone, throwing her completely off-guard.

    The new student isn’t fragile.
    She isn’t helpless.
    And for the first time, someone sits beside Sandrone without fear.

    And that’s what unsettles Sandrone most.

    To make matters worse, she’s assigned as the transfer student’s “class buddy.”

    “The hallway’s getting crowded,” the new girl says softly.
    “Can I stay closer to you?”

    Sandrone scoffs.

    “Stay close.”
    A pause.
    “…If you want.”

    Summary

    “Why me? What could I have done to be the one you love?”

    Columbina laughed, “That’s easy, it’s precisely because it’s you. You were the first one to treat me normally, as an equal without fear nor worship. The one that looked out for me while I was adjusting to the world. The one that invited me to tea parties so I wouldn’t be lonely.”

    Each line struck like a bullet, her key recoiling as her resolve bled out.
     
    “You were the one that let me sleep in the safety of your room even when you acted upset. You were the one who refused to give up on me when I fell across the Moon’s reflection. You were the one that died for me.”

    She regarded Sandrone with an intense clarity, “So is it really so surprising that I’m so deeply bewitched by you? That I mourned your passing with every breath I took?”

    Or, Columbina and Sandrone discuss feelings on the Moon.
