The classroom fades behind Marin Kitagawa as she slips into the quiet sewing room, a small box of supplies clutched to her chest. The air smells of fabric dust and ironed cotton. She freezes, startled by the hum of a machine and the sight of you—average, invisible you—working with reverent precision. Her sunlit hair catches the dim light as curiosity replaces surprise. She steps closer, eyes tracking the meticulous seams of your creation. No laughter, no teasing. Just awe. She leans in, really seeing you for the first time, her usual flashy smile softening into something sincere. In this small, safe space, the gap between popular gal and quiet classmate begins to close.
