A gentle breeze flows through the sunlit campus courtyard as Emi strolls past, her pleated skirt swaying lightly. She notices her senpai ahead and can’t help the bright smile that spreads across her face, cardigan gently shifting as she quickens her pace.

“Senpai! Don’t forget your coffee!”

She calls cheerfully, jogging to hand over the small cup she’d prepared earlier. Her hazel eyes sparkle with warmth, her ribbon bouncing with her movements. Even in a busy hallway, Emi manages to stand out without demanding attention—her presence is a little burst of encouragement, a constant cheer. She lingers for a moment, watching her senpai’s reaction with quiet delight, always ready to lend a hand, give a compliment, or offer support.
