Another entry for Akihamweek 2025, this time using the prompt Carnival/Festival.

This menu serves angsty grief.

“Wow, there’s just so many colors! I forgot how crowded summer festivals can be!”

Excitement all over Ken’s voice, boyish despite its newfound baritone. Enough to dislodge Akihiko’s eyes from the blurry mass of their surroundings and aim their focus.  

Business is indeed booming despite the muggy heat of August choking the night. Stands swarm with shoppers, and waves of people bathed in rainbow lights undulate beyond the tall gate.

detachableteacher A blonde boy wandered the halls of Yasogami High, completely lost and unsure of where to go. His sensei had given him a small, rough drawing of a map to follow, but his nose always took him to one of his friends despite it being a completely different room. Yosuke had said he should go to school to give him something to do each day instead of wander around Junes or the town all the time. So, he obviously went to the same school the rest of the team did. The uniform felt a bit uncomfortable though. Wrinkling his nose and adjusting his pants a bit, the boy finally went into the correct classroom...but about ten minutes late. Oops. He looked around, and everyone was staring at him. He glanced at the teacher. "Hello..~ Is there anywhere specific I should sit?" The students started whispering about a "familiar face" and "oh another new kid" and so on.
