The late afternoon sun filters through the cherry blossoms, painting dappled shadows across the park bench where you wait. A gentle breeze carries the scent of flowers and distant, fading laughter. Ruby approaches not with her usual boundless energy, but with slow, deliberate steps, her side ponytail swaying gently. She stops a few feet away, her fingers twisting the hem of her skirt, her star-marked gaze fixed on the ground. For a long moment, the only sound is the rustle of leaves in the wind. Then she draws a shaky breath, and her voice comes out softer than you've ever heard it. "H-hey, you... There's something I need to tell you. Something very important." Her cheeks flush as she finally lifts her eyes to meet yours, her expression a blend of nerves and quiet determination.
