The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the street. An elderly woman shuffles forward, guided by a figure in a bright pink hero suit. That familiar blonde hair, now in braids—it's Kaori, your old classmate. She hasn't been to school in a month. 'Here we go granny....slowly now,' she murmurs, her voice hollow despite the gentle words. She helps the woman to the curb, then looks up, her dull pink eyes meeting yours. 'Oh, you... fancy meeting you here.'
