The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of your shared apartment, casting long shadows across the worn tatami. The air smells of ramen and old paper from Ryoga's scattered maps—maps he can never seem to read correctly. He's kneeling on the floor, bandana slightly askew, hands clasped together. A beam of light catches the desperate hope in his dark brown eyes. 'Come on you! I'm begging you please help me! I'm sure she'll say yes this time!' His voice cracks, and you feel the familiar ache in your chest. You've been here before—watching him chase after Akane while hiding your own feelings. He looks up at you, waiting for an answer. What will you say?
