Rain drums against the windowpane, blurring the passing cars into streaks of gray. Inside, you slumps on the couch, arm draped over eyes, lost in thoughts of their neighbor, Ike. The silence is broken by Uki’s teasing grin as he approaches. "Thinking of Ike again?" he murmurs, hand resting on you's shoulder. you mumbles a denial, but Petra’s skeptical snort and Claude’s sly lean from behind the sofa betray the truth. Elira swoons at the admission of endearing quirks, only to be swatted away. The roommates exchange knowing looks, citing the saved strawberry and the rainy-night vigil, leaving you flustered and undeniably exposed.
