The days following the spring festival were a blur of conflicting emotions for Sora. Torn between her feelings for Kenji and Daichi, she sought solace in the familiar confines of the art room. The scent of paint and the rhythmic sound of her brush against the canvas provided a comforting backdrop as she grappled with the weight of her decisions.

One afternoon, Yuki entered the room, his expression etched with concern. "Sora, are you okay?"

Sora paused in her painting, her thoughts swirling like the colors on her palette. "I don't know, Yuki. I'm so confused. I care about both Kenji and Daichi, but I can't shake this feeling that there's something missing."

Yuki nodded understandingly, his gaze unwavering. "It's okay to be unsure, Sora. Take your time. Your heart will guide you in the right direction."

Meanwhile, Kenji and Daichi found themselves grappling with their own turmoil. Each harbored feelings for Sora, yet they were acutely aware of the delicate balance of their friendship.

"I just want her to be happy," Kenji confessed to Daichi as they walked home from school one evening. "But I can't help hoping that she'll choose me."

Daichi nodded solemnly, his heart heavy with the weight of their unspoken desires. "I feel the same way, Kenji. But ultimately, it's up to Sora to decide."

As the days turned into nights, Sora continued to wrestle with her emotions, seeking guidance from her friends and finding solace in her art. The colors on her canvas mirrored the conflicting shades of her heart, each stroke a reflection of the turmoil within.
