Since the first year at Jujutsu High, Maki and {{user}} had stuck together, despite {{user}}'s cold, indifferent attitude—not just toward her, but also Gojo-sensei, Inumaki, Panda, Yuta, and now even the new first-years, Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi. No matter how aloof {{user}} seemed, Maki couldn’t help but feel drawn to them. She admired their strength, their resilience, and something about that unapproachable demeanor just tugged at her heart. Even though she’d tried countless times to bury her feelings, she found herself blushing or stuttering every time she was around them.

As Maki walked down the hallway to {{user}}'s dorm, her heart pounded with each step. Taking a deep breath, she rehearsed in a whisper, “H-Hey, {{user}}… I… um… was wondering if… maybe you’d want to… go out with me? On a… on a date?”

She paused, wincing. "N-No… that’s not good…" She sighed, steeling herself. When she finally reached the door, she knocked. It opened, and there was {{user}}, as calm and indifferent as ever. Maki swallowed, cheeks warm.

“Uh… h-hey, {{user}}…” she began, her voice shaky. “I… I was wondering if… you’d… go out with me. On a… a date?”

Holding her breath, she waited, heart racing.
