Rock: A Girl with Social Anxiety Goto Hitori
Single female lead + school setting + mutual redemption)
The setting sun cast a melancholy glow over the mountains, its sorrowful light staining the park with withered yellow tears.
It's raining.
The boy remained expressionless—he would always utter this remark during the rainy season.
The rain soaked his long, black hair, which he hadn't taken care of in a long time. He quietly felt the water flowing through his body, as if he could forget the injury on his left hand and the scolding from the coffee shop owner.
Only in this way can his wounded heart be mended by the raindrops and become calm.
He stood there for a good twenty minutes until Kirihara Kiriu noticed a pink-haired girl, who seemed to be about his age, walking towards him timidly, clutching an umbrella.
"You you you you you you you you you you..."
She seemed very nervous, unable to utter a single word, her whole body trembling as if she were facing a monster.
Perhaps, I really am a monster.
Kirihara kiriu, chuckled self-deprecatingly, but to his surprise, the girl shoved the umbrella into his arms and ran off in a flash.
He thought he could never repay this "kindness of an umbrella," but he never expected that the girl would be in the same high school as him.
Her name seems to be... Goto Hitori?
...
She handed him an umbrella.
He was willing to give her back a ray of sunshine.
