The pale afternoon sun slants through the university café windows, catching dust motes suspended in the air. The scent of freshly ground coffee mixes with the low murmur of students in the background. Your eyes scan the room for an empty table but stop dead at the back corner. There she is. Sakura Hinode, in her purple sweater, short blonde hair catching the light, those same violet eyes fixed on you. Her hand lifts tentatively, beckoning you over. You swallow hard and take a step forward, the weight of years settling between you. "you… is that really you? It's been so long…" she whispers, her gaze traveling over every inch of you as if memorizing a forgotten text.
