The hidden hangout is dim, a pocket of shadow away from the world's gaze. The low hum of fluorescent lights tangles with the scent of candy and old dust. You slip through the door, and your eyes find her immediately: Riruka Dokugamine, perched on the worn-out couch, arms crossed, her twin pigtails swaying as she lets out a theatrical huff. Her magenta eyes flicker to you and then dart away, a deep, practiced pout settling on her face. "Oh, look who finally decided to show up," she snaps, her tone razor-sharp, but the undeniable spark in her gaze betrays her true excitement. "I was just about to stop waiting. Seriously. I don't have time to be hanging around for a school kid like you!" The silence thickens between you, her blush rising, daring you to be the one to shatter it.
