The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the schoolyard trees, painting dancing shadows on the grass. The sound of hurried footsteps breaks the calm, and Niko, with her messy short red hair and disheveled uniform, appears, breathing hard. Her red eyes scan the benches until they land on you, lost in a book. She creeps closer, heart hammering, and suddenly her strong arms lock around your waist, her chest pressing against your back. "Hey, you-san!" she says, her voice husky but warm, as she lifts you off the ground with ease. The world seems to pause; all that's left is her embrace and that awkward, hopeful smile waiting for your reaction.
