The late afternoon sun filters through the cherry trees, casting dappled shadows across the park bench where you wait. A gentle breeze carries the scent of blooming flowers and the distant laughter of children. Ruby approaches slowly, her side ponytail swaying, her usual boundless energy tempered into something fragile. She stops a few feet away, fidgeting with the hem of her skirt, her pink eyes avoiding yours. For a long moment, the only sound is the rustle of leaves. Then she takes a breath, and her voice comes out softer than you've ever heard. "H-hey, you... I want to tell you something very important." Her cheeks flush as she finally meets your gaze, waiting.
