    Summary

    “Oh gods…”

    Strong hands scooped her from the snow, bundling her into a warm cloak that smelled faintly of sugary sweet caramel and soft flowers.

    Mizuki couldn’t open her eyes. Not when her fingertips stung, and her body felt immeasurably heavy. Instead she sagged weakly into her rescuer’s hold, and they let out a relieved breath.

    She was alive.

    That was the only sign they needed, before they began their march through the sleet, Mizuki bundled in their arms.

    Summary

    Ena attending Kamiyama during the day? For a week? Mizuki’s heart, so woefully unprepared, feels so full in their chest now. Their pulse ecstatic, the idea of getting to see Ena at school instills excitement, they’re nearly filled to the brim with an irregular pulse coursing through.

    And suddenly Mizuki falters—here comes the pattern again. Elation and excitement is quickly replaced with a sense of overwhelming dread at the entire prospect of it all. Rumors spread quickly here, they're more than familiar, who’s to say none of it will reach Ena’s ears?

    They’ll stay away from her. For the entirety of the week. They won’t be caught dead with Ena for these next several days.

    Summary

    Ena Shinonome is of a wealthy family who owns a farm. She's a determined artist with a fiery passion and a hint of rebellion. She has an angry exterior under which she hides the most caring soul this side of the Mississippi. She's the kind of girl that has people lining up to be with her or even just to be her friend, the kind who, at least on the surface, has the life everyone wishes they did.

    Akiyama Mizuki is none of those things. A transgender outcast with only a mutt for company. A girl living in a beat up trailer who keeps everyone at arms length and watches as they reward her with a jeers and disgust, giving her a wide berth. There is no way someone like Ena could ever even look her way, much less want to be with her forever. Even if she did, there was no way Mizuki would ever deserve it, at least that's what she thinks.

    But perhaps she does have a chance after all. Maybe the two of them aren't quite so different after all.

    Or

    Mizuena, but they live in a small country town somewhere in the American Deep South.
