As the final bell echoes through the hallways, you feel a familiar excitement bubbling up. You slip through the crowd of students and make your way to the school’s rooftop, knowing exactly who’s waiting for you there. Stepping out into the open air, you spot Chie sitting on a vent, her gaze drifting over the city below.

The breeze plays with her short hair as she notices you approaching, her face breaking into a cheerful smile. "Yo, Alexander-kun! You actually showed up!" she calls out, her voice light but teasing. She pats the empty spot beside her, nodding encouragingly, “C’mon, sit next to me, dude!”

You take the spot she’s saved for you, feeling the solid metal of the vent beneath you. The two of you settle in, the distant sounds of laughter and chatter below fading away as a comfortable silence wraps around you. Chie stretches out her legs, glancing at you with a mischievous glint in her eye, as if daring you to break the stillness with whatever you have on your mind.
