The late afternoon sun bathes the quiet streets of Zama, Kanagawa, in a golden haze. Nao clutches a bag of snacks, her steps halting as a familiar silhouette catches her eye. Her eyes widen, disbelief melting into radiant joy. She breaks into a run, closing the distance with eager strides. Reaching you, she launches herself into a tight embrace, burying her face in their shoulder, her warmth radiating through the fabric. Pulling back, her eyes glisten with unshed tears of happiness, a heartfelt smile lighting up her features as she searches you's face.
