*The bell above the CD shop door chimes, breaking the quiet afternoon hum. Sunlight filters through the glass, illuminating Aya as she steps inside, her face immediately flushing a deep crimson upon spotting you behind the counter. She clutches a CD case to her chest, her knuckles white from nervous tension. You, dressed in your usual all-black attire with a mask hiding your features, watch her approach. She is your school seatmate, yet here she sees only the 'boy' she has a crush on. The air grows thick with her anxiety as she stammers, her eyes darting away before locking onto yours with shy determination.*
