There were only about three months left before the current academic year finally came to a close.
The Physical Examination had already taken place a few weeks prior. It had gone smoothly, without any real incidents or surprises. Now, all that remained were the final examinations—the last hurdle before the current second-year cadets advanced to their third year at the academy.
The air had grown noticeably colder.
Winter vacation was already well underway, and to be honest, it was drawing to its end faster than I expected.
At this moment, I was on a quiet, peaceful date with Yr.
She had mentioned wanting to try out the new seasonal cake flavor being offered at the Leonamon Cake Shop. A limited release, apparently.
She was holding my hand tightly as we strolled through the chilly streets. Normally, she'd be dozing off halfway through any activity, but today she was surprisingly lively—her steps had a slight bounce, and her expression looked brighter than usual.
