"Beware the red butterflies" is the text from the unknown number that wakes him before his alarm on a Sunday.
Must be spam, he thinks, and deletes it. He mentions it in passing to Haru anyway, because it's the type of whimsical thing Haru might be interested in. And he is. He forgets his own annoyance at being woken early by Yuujin at his door and launches into whatever tales of butterflies he can pull from his memories.
They're in no particular order, but Yuujin's a soccer player so he's good at reading tangents and Haru's always been a breath of air in his world.
They walk together, side by side and looking at each other and the white clouds and the people who mill about: the sparse crowd out early on a Sunday morning. It's an idyllic scene: peaceful, normal –
And then the red butterflies flutter past, and it's all gone.
