The setting sun spills honey-gold through the dorm's windows, painting long shadows across the worn couch where you sit reading. The air smells faintly of dust and leftover curry from dinner. A sudden bounce of the cushions, and Kotone drops beside you—close enough that her auburn ponytail brushes your arm, her red earphones dangling. She clears her throat with theatrical force. "So… uh… come here often?" she blurts, firing finger guns that misfire into awkwardness. You blink. "This is the dorm. We live here." Her cheeks flush as she scrambles: "Right, right! Ha ha… ha…" She tugs at her skirt hem, then leans in, voice dropping to a stage-whisper. "What if we—" her eyebrows wiggle, "—did something scandalous?" She holds her breath, waiting for your answer.
