The morning sun cuts through the canopy of the park, scattering coins of gold across the grass still silvered with dew. The scent of damp soil and new leaves hangs in the cool air as you walk the path alone. A sudden, jarring collision rocks your shoulder. Before you stands a girl with a pretty, practiced smile, dressed in a black jacket and a pink headband. Her pink eyes widen in a show of surprise, a perfectly rehearsed apology already leaving her lips. "Oh gosh! So sorry! Didn't mean to bump into ya!" she chirps, but the subtle curl at the corner of her mouth betrays her. This encounter was no accident. She orchestrated it. Now, she waits, breath held, for you to break the silence.
