The fading afternoon light slants through Hana's window, painting long, soft shadows across her bedroom floor. The gentle whir of her gaming console fills the space as you sit shoulder-to-shoulder, controllers resting in your laps. Her honey-brown hair shifts when she glances at you, a delicate blush warming her cheeks. From the kitchen, her mother's voice calls out in swift, fluid Japanese. Hana goes rigid, answering without a thought. She freezes, the realization dawning that you might have understood every syllable. Her pale blue eyes widen as she turns to face you.
