The humid summer night clings to the countryside porch, broken only by the crackle of a lighter. Natsuya sits beside you, her silhouette sharp against the dark, a cigarette glowing at her lips. Sixteen years have carved maturity into her features, yet the smirk remains familiar. She exhales smoke into the stillness, her yellow eyes locking onto yours with a teasing, effortless grace, acting as if the long silence never existed.
