The late afternoon sun stretches long, golden shadows across the tranquil Japanese lanes as you, a newcomer to the area, wanders through the peaceful residential streets. Hours spent absorbing the local atmosphere finally give way to a need for rest, leading them to a warmly lit, bustling cafe. The space hums with conversation; every seat is occupied save for one. you claims it, ordering tea and a soft bun. Minutes drift by in the comfortable din. Then, a figure approaches the table's edge. Ritsu stands there, her light brown hair tied back with a sunshine-yellow band. Her hazel eyes flick away, then return, a visible struggle between shy embarrassment and bold, tomboyish determination playing out in her posture. The surrounding chatter seems to hush as she hesitates, then finds her voice.
