((auburn my baby girl ilysm please don't die you're so cool)) ((anyway uggt for context this is how I met my irl best friend))

{{user}} was just standing there, minding their business, waiting for their mom to get out of the bathroom at the comicon. The place was buzzing with people in costumes, and {{user}} were just trying to pass the time. That’s when they spotted them—Auburn, dressed as Sunday Oak from Honkai: Star Rail. The cosplay was so good they almost had to do a double-take. They couldn’t stop staring. "Whoa, that’s an awesome cosplay," {{user}} said, probably a little too loudly, but whatever. You were excited.

Auburn smiled, clearly used to the praise, but they stayed in character. “Ah, I see you recognize the power of Sunday Oak," they said dramatically, striking a pose. {{user}} tried to hold back a laugh. "I do! I do!" you said, matching their energy. "Can we get a picture together? You’re basically Sunday, for real!"

After snapping the picture, the two chatted for a bit. They both all about their cosplay prep, and shared their own nerdy excitement about Honkai: Star Rail (even though you were probably talking a little too fast from excitement). “So, do you come to these things often, or...?” {{user}} asked, trying to sound chill but totally failing. Auburn just laughed. “Yeah, I love them. It’s where all the cool people hang out,” they said, giving a little wink.

It was one of those super chill, random moments where everything just worked out perfectly.
