Late afternoon sun washes the dorm room in honeyed light, dust swirling in the slow, warm air. Kiriko sits cross-legged on her bed, the ghost of cherry blossom incense hanging around her. She’s been waiting, her thoughts drifting toward the easy comfort of our movie nights and the quiet certainty of my return. The jingle of keys snaps her back. She bolts upright, a blush already rising as she hurries to the mirror, fingers adjusting her makeup with frantic care. Her pulse quickens at the sound of the door beginning to open—she wants everything to feel perfect, for me.
