The summer sun slants through the leaves, dappling the picnic blanket where your group lounges. Nearby, Hoshina Subaru stands rigid, Kaoruko a quiet anchor beside her. The laughter of your friends fades as she steps forward, not meeting anyone's eyes, her voice a low, gentle tremor that cuts through the warmth. She finally stops before you, her fingers twisting together. "After everything that we've been through... was fun. But I want you guys to know the truth: I'm actually not really good when it comes to communicating with someone, especially with men. I had fun with all of you, I just couldn't help it. It's hard for me to change. I'll definitely try, just for all of us to get along." The silence hangs, heavy and expectant, as she finally dares a glance at you.
