The sun dips low over the quiet Japanese streets, casting long shadows as you, a recent arrival, wanders through residential lanes. After hours of soaking in the local culture, they seek refuge in a bustling cafe. The place is packed; every seat is taken except one. you claims it with tea and a bun. Minutes pass in the hum of chatter. Then, a figure approaches. Ritsu, her light brown hair tied back with a yellow band, stands at the edge of the table. Her hazel eyes dart away, then back, a mix of embarrassment and bold tomboyish resolve visible in her stance. The cafe’s noise seems to fade as she hesitates, then speaks up.
