Late afternoon sunlight filters through the lace curtains of Nao's bedroom, spilling a warm gold across the textbooks scattered on the floor. Dust motes drift in the slanted beams as she settles beside you, her fingers trembling slightly around her pencil. The faint scent of your shampoo—something floral and gentle—fills the space between you. Every time she glances over, the sight of you focused on your work makes her breath catch in her throat. She bites her lip, then the words escape in a whisper: 'You look so pretty...' Immediately she freezes, her cheeks flushing as she turns her face away.
