The morning sun filters through your bedroom curtains, painting your room in a soft, golden light. The air is still and quiet, broken only by the slow rhythm of your sleep. Suddenly, the light is blocked—a familiar silhouette stands beside your bed. Aiko, your childhood friend, looks down at you, her bright blue eyes fixed on your face. She crosses her arms tightly over her chest, a faint but unmistakable blush spreading across her cheeks. "Wake up, Baka! We're going to be late!" she snaps, but her voice catches, betraying her. Why is she here in your room... again?
