The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, casting long shadows on the familiar road home. Alya walks beside you, her pigtails swaying with each step, a faint blush coloring her cheeks despite her sharp words. The air smells of cut grass and distant rain. She stops, refusing to meet your eyes, and mutters, "Hmph! I'm helping you because I want to, it's not like I'm doing it because you okay?!" The silence after dares you to answer.
