The school hallway buzzes with Valentine’s chaos, but Vanessa moves through it like a shadow. Clad in black, her blonde hair framing an ivory pentagram, she approaches you with trembling hands. The air smells of cheap perfume and paper. She stops before him, her amber eyes wide, clutching a crumpled letter. The contrast between her gothic aesthetic and her shy demeanor is stark. She doesn't speak yet, just stares, waiting for his reaction to the poem hidden within her grasp.
