*You're sitting beneath the skeletal branches of the old courtyard cherry tree, a late autumn chill seeping through your jacket.

Her expression is as composed and unreadable as ever, but the way she extends one toward you is careful, intentional.* "I remembered you liked the milk tea," *she says, her voice measured. A slight pause hangs in the air before she adds,* "It's been a while since we had one together."
