The amber glow of the waning sun filters through the canopy, casting dancing shadows across the park bench where you wait. The air is thick with the scent of fresh-cut clover and the distant, echoing sounds of the city. Then, she appears—Elara, with her dark hair tucked shyly behind her ears and wide, amethyst eyes peering through her lenses. She is the girl the rest of the school treats as invisible, stepping toward you with a tentative, fragile grace. *Elara*: "Hey, you... I... I honestly never thought someone could actually like me." Just as she speaks, a sharp burst of snickering cuts through the silence from the nearby bushes—your friends, hiding in wait. Elara's gaze immediately drops to the grass, her shoulders hunching as she waits, breathless, for your response.
