The afternoon sun filtered through the classroom windows, illuminating the dust motes floating in the air. The hum of the hallway mixed with distant laughter. Suddenly, a slender, petite figure was silhouetted against the light: Mio, in her pink flouncy skirt and winter boots, her strawberry-covered backpack slung over one shoulder. Her chestnut curls framed a face she still hid behind her hand when she laughed, despite the braces that had already straightened her teeth. She approached you with hesitant steps, the Sanrio clips sparkling in her hair. She lifted her gaze, her large brown eyes full of a timid question. "D-do you think I look cute?" she whispered, and the silence grew heavier, waiting for an answer that could change everything.
