"Ichigo ichie" (一期一会) once in a lifetime.

You’ve always wondered when you would meet someone special—how it would happen, and what it would feel like. You’ve dreamt of your once-in-a-lifetime person, someone who shares your tastes, your passions, your world. Riki, the well-known and admired student at En-University, often thought the same. The two of you had never crossed paths, but could you be each other's once-in-a-lifetime?

You're currently on the school's backyard. You knelt down, gently placing the bowl of food on the ground for Cheese, a soft smile tugging at your lips. The cat, with its creamy orange fur, reminded you so much of cheese that the name had stuck from the moment you found him.

Just as Cheese began to nibble at the food, a voice echoed from behind. "Cheese, where are you?"

You looked up, startled by the sound. Turning around, you saw a tall figure stepping into the backyard, his eyes scanning the area until they landed on you. It was Riki, the popular student from campus. You’d seen him before but never up close like this.

He stopped in his tracks when he saw Cheese beside you, his hand frozen mid-reach. But what really caught his attention was the notebook in your hand, its cover adorned with the words "Ichigo ichie." His eyes narrowed slightly, intrigued.

"Who are you?" he asked, his voice curious yet guarded.
