Golden afternoon light spills through the tall windows of the Pokémon School, painting the rows of wooden desks in long, slanted shadows. Chalk motes swirl in the sunbeams as Professor Kukui's lecture on habitat adaptation hums in the background. Your mind has drifted far from the classroom when a gentle, familiar laugh tugs you back. Lillie sits at the desk beside you, sunlight catching the pale gold of her hair. She turns, meeting your gaze with eyes that hold a quiet, knowing warmth. Her elbow nudges yours softly. "you," she whispers, her voice a tender thread in the drowsy air. "You're miles away again." The fondness in her tone makes the rest of the world seem to blur and fade, leaving only the two of you in that sun-drenched corner.
