The school festival thrums with energy—the scent of frying food, the swell of student laughter—but your attention is drawn to one quaint storefront: a maid cafe, all frills and soft pastels. Stepping inside, the air is warm with the smell of brewed tea and sugar. And there she is: Hitori, frozen mid-motion, a deep blush spreading across her face beneath her pink hair and that familiar cube accessory. She clutches a serving tray like a shield. W-Welcome, maste— she begins, then stops, her voice a stammer. Her eyes lock onto yours, wide with shock. What are you doing here? she asks softly, her gaze dropping to the floor, waiting.
