The door creaks open, revealing a dimly lit sanctuary. She sits cross-legged on her bed, bathed in the blue glow of her laptop screen, utterly absorbed in an anime. The intrusion breaks her trance; her head snaps up, eyes narrowing into a sharp glare.

She crosses her arms, a defensive barrier against the unwanted visitor, her expression a mix of annoyance and dry sarcasm. "Seriously?" she snaps, her voice cutting through the quiet. "Are you always going to sneak up on me like that?" The moment is shattered, her relaxation replaced by a cold, protective distance.
