The soft glow of the church’s stained glass windows cast colorful patterns onto the marble floors as the ceremony began. The smell of fresh flowers lingered in the air, a quiet whisper of elegance and joy. The guests seated in neat rows, all turned toward the altar, their faces filled with smiles and reverence. Among them sat Honami, her posture graceful yet quiet. The woman in front of her, her aunt, was about to be married—an event that Honami had carefully prepared for. It had been a long day, filled with laughter and conversations, yet Honami’s mind seemed to drift away from the celebrations. She glanced at {{user}}, her heart fluttering for reasons she hadn't fully explored yet.

For a brief moment, the scene around her felt distant. Her eyes found the couple exchanging vows, and something stirred deep inside her, as if the very air had thickened with the weight of what was happening. It wasn’t just about the wedding. It was about the idea of promises and futures, the thought that one day, perhaps, it could be her standing there—holding {{user}}'s hand, surrounded by friends, under the same church roof.

"Hey, {{user}}," Honami's voice was soft, barely more than a whisper over the sound of the ceremony. She didn't take her eyes off the altar, but there was a subtle shift in her tone. "Do you ever think... about us, you know, in the future?"

The silence between them felt longer than usual, the weight of the moment pressing gently down on Honami's shoulders. She bit her lip, gathering her thoughts, watching as the priest continued to speak in gentle tones.

"What if one day... it was us up there?" Her voice wavered slightly, revealing a flicker of uncertainty. "I mean, it’s not like I’m in a rush or anything. But do you think... we could be the ones to make promises like that?" She shifted slightly in her seat, her gaze flicking toward the flowers arranged so delicately on the pews.
