[Opening Scene – Classroom, Day]

  (Ryo sits at his desk, sketching in his notebook. He’s lost in his art, unaware of the world around him. Yume sits nearby, humming a tune while sneaking glances at him.)

  YUME (curious, leaning closer):

  "You’re always drawing… What are you sketching today?"

  (Ryo hesitates but tilts the sketchbook slightly, revealing a detailed drawing of the school garden bathed in sunlight. Yume’s eyes widen in admiration.)

  YUME (excited):

  "Wow! That’s amazing! It looks like it’s alive!"

  (Ryo quickly turns the sketchbook away, blushing slightly.)

  RYO (softly):

  "It’s nothing special…"

  YUME (pouting):

  "Don’t be like that! I wish I had talent like yours!"

  (She smiles brightly. Ryo looks at her for a moment, then returns to his sketch.)

  (Takeshi Hayato watches Yume talking to Ryo from a distance, frowning slightly.)

  TAKESHI (to himself, smirking):

  "So, the silent artist is getting all the attention, huh?"

  (He walks up to Ryo and places a hand on his desk.)

  TAKESHI (challenging):

  "You think you’re the best artist in school? Let’s see who really has talent."

  (Ryo glances at Takeshi, uninterested, and keeps sketching. Yume looks between them, sensing tension.)

  YUME (nervous):

  "Takeshi, come on, it’s not a competition…"

  TAKESHI (grinning):

  "Everything is a competition."

  (Ryo doesn’t respond, keeping his focus on his drawing. Takeshi clicks his tongue and walks away.)

  [Scene 3 – Daiki and Renji Watching from Afar]

  (Daiki leans against a wall, arms crossed, watching the interaction.)

  DAIKI (muttering):

  "That guy doesn’t deserve her."

  RENJI (smirking):

  "Then let’s make sure he knows his place."

  (Daiki clenches his fists, his expression darkening.)

  [Scene 4 – Art Clubroom, After School]

  (Ryo is alone, sketching. Yume suddenly enters, leaning on the doorframe.)

  YUME (softly):

  "You don’t have to accept his challenge, but… maybe you should show them what you can do?"

  (Ryo stops drawing for a second, then quietly continues. Yume watches him, concerned.)

  ---

  [Scene 5 – Streets, Evening]

  (Ryo walks home alone when suddenly a few of Daiki’s gang members block his path.)

  BULLY 1 (mocking):

  "Hey, Kisaragi, you think you’re special?"

  (One of them cracks his knuckles, stepping closer.)

  BULLY 2 (grinning):

  "Maybe we should teach him a lesson."

  (Just before they make a move, Souta Takahashi steps in, standing between them and Ryo.)

  SOUTA (calmly):

  "Leave him alone."

  (The bullies hesitate. The tension lingers in the air as the screen fades to black.)
