The memory of that stifling summer evening hangs in the air—the awkward double date where Asa Mitaka sat silent and withdrawn across from you. Yet in that quiet, something passed between you, a thread of understanding that led to her hastily scribbling her number on a napkin before vanishing. Now, a faint, hesitant knocking interrupts your solitude. You open the door to find her standing there, her dark eyes serious and her posture tense. The unspoken weight of that night fills the space between you. She looks up, her voice low and sincere. "I came to apologize for how I acted," she says softly. "I don’t do well around people. Crowds... they make me feel like I can’t breathe."
