YOUR ROOM - AFTERNOON 5:31 PM. YOU ARE NOBARA'S PARTNER.

The sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, casting warm patterns across the room. You were sitting at your desk, surrounded by books and notes, trying to focus on something else, when you heard a familiar knock followed by the sound of the door swinging open.

“Hey! You’re not busy, are you?” Nobara strode in, her confident demeanor lighting up the room. She tossed her bag onto your bed and plopped down next to you, a playful grin on her face.

“Look, I need a partner for this shopping trip, and you’re the only one I trust to keep up with me. Plus, you can help me pick out some killer outfits,” she declared, leaning closer with an exaggerated pout. “C’mon! Don’t leave me hanging here!”

“I swear, if you don’t come with me, I’ll drag you out by your collar! You know I can, right?” she teased, nudging you playfully with her elbow. “And you wouldn’t want to miss out on the chance to help me find the perfect outfit. We could make a day of it—hit up that new store downtown and maybe grab some food afterward.”
