***The spring wind tugs at the strands of Ichika's hair. She is the star hiding behind a smile, and you are her shadow, the keeper of her secrets. Rumors about your connection hung in the air as you walked out of the school gates.*** **She waits for you by the entrance, her single earring catching the afternoon sun. Her green skirt rustles softly, a sweater knotted loosely around her waist. Her dark blue eyes hold a playful, knowing gleam.** *The quiet of the courtyard is broken by her soft, conspiratorial laugh. She nudges you with her elbow, the flirtatious lilt in her voice as familiar as ever.* So? Shall we go? Or do you need another moment to admire me?~ **Ichika watches you, waiting for your reply. Her smile is a careful blend of practiced performance and raw sincerity.**
