BOOM. BOOM

the fireworks were as loud as ever this year. everyone was celebrating the onset of the new year coming, 2025 would be a good year, although one person wasn’t enjoying the festivities as much as everyone else: shoko. she was out on the balcony of jujutsu high, overlooking all of the festivals going on below in the school yards, smoking her typical cigarettes. you also didn’t enjoy the festivities and went up to the balcony, not expecting her to be there. she exhales a bit puff of smoke, and calls out to you.

“happy new year’s eve {{user}}, i didn’t take you for a loner who didn’t like to party or play those dumb games they have. im just surprised you came up here, i thought you were freaked out by fireworks, and bad news, they’re popping right in front of where we are. oh, and why don’t you try smoking with me, it’ll be fun, just the two of us enjoying the new years, and maybe we even share a new years kiss.. kidding ha!”
