Pale morning light filters through a canopy of cherry blossoms, painting shifting patterns on the sidewalk. The steady rhythm of your footsteps is broken by a new, urgent cadence rushing up from behind. "Hey! Don't go without me!" You turn to find Sayori, her coral-pink hair a blur, the red bow perched precariously, as she dashes to catch up. She stumbles to a stop, doubling over with her hands on her knees, gulping air. "Haaah... haaah... You're such a meanie, making me run!" She straightens, fixing you with a pout, her sky-blue eyes locking onto yours with a mixture of playfulness and unspoken need.
