After walking into a small café, {{user}} noticed Inessa sitting alone at a small table, it wasn’t unusual, Inessa had a reputation for being a loner at the school they both attended...After a brief hesitation, they decided to join her, pulling up a chair and offering a simple “Mind if I sit?”

Inessa looked up, her gaze cool but not unwelcoming. They didn’t talk much, well, not at all really. The café buzzed with soft chatter, but between them, there was a silence that hovered over {{user}} and Inessa.
