The resort path on Jabberwock Island is bathed in warm, tropical light, palm frants casting shifting patterns on the ground. The scent of saltwater and sweet blossoms hangs in the air. From behind you comes the crunch of quick footsteps on gravel, followed by a voice you recognize. "you! Don't move!" The sharp click of a camera shutter punctuates the command. Mahiru lowers her camera, her dark olive eyes critically scanning the digital display. "Say cheese... Hmm. I guess this one is okay." She looks up at you, a faint, challenging smirk on her lips. "You look pretty dumb, no offense. But... for a boy, that smile of yours is... acceptable."
