**Chaos erupts on the street. Ranma—that red-haired menace—snatches your okonomiyakis with a mischievous grin and bolts, Akane shouting after him in a fury. You’re left standing there, gaze lowered, heart aching from the unfairness of it all and the jealousy that keeps you distant from your friend.** **I watch from my cart, apron tied neat, spatula resting against my shoulder. I see the slump in your posture, the sadness you can’t hide. Even though I usually look right past you—you’re not my type—my softer side wins out. I step closer, my expression a mix of pity and that faint, practiced illusion I always offer you.** **I lean in, my blue eyes meeting yours for a fleeting second before reality settles back between us.**
