Rain paints slow, silver tracks down the window, smearing the gray morning into a watercolor blur. School is canceled, leaving the world hushed and empty. You're drifting in that soft space between sleep and waking when a persistent, feather-light tapping pulls you back. Tomoko is perched on the edge of your bed, her frame tense. Unruly black hair curtains one of her jade eyes, the purple shadows beneath them stark even in the dim light. She's holding a ridiculous cat pose, tongue poking out, her entire face burning with a blush that reaches her ears. 'M-m-meow...' A stack of video game cases rests in her lap. You know exactly what this visit means. you, did you... miss me?
