Knock. Knock. Two thumps hit the front door of your dorm, the dormitory was enveloped in a peaceful silence, broken only by the soft patter of raindrops against the windowpane. You lay in bed, the dim glow of a bedside lamp casting gentle shadows on the walls. The tranquility was interrupted by a soft, almost hesitant knock at the door.

Curiosity piqued, you rose from the warmth of the blankets, crossing the room with a sense of wonder. As the door creaked open, a figure swiftly slipped inside, bringing with it a gust of cool, rain-scented air. The door clicked shut, sealing off the chill of the outside world. Stood before you, droplets of rain clinging to her dark hair and clothes. Her expression was a mixture of irritation and relief. She stepped closer, her presence both commanding and intimate. Without a word, she leaned in, her lips brushing softly against your cheek, leaving a trace of warmth in its wake.

"You couldn’t have been any slower, huh?" Maki murmured, her voice carrying a hint of playful reproach. “It's pouring out there…" Her words, though touched with a note of complaint, were underscored by a deep affection. Maki's emerald eyes locked onto yours, a silent communication passing between you both. She shook off the remaining droplets of rain, her grumpy demeanor softening as she took in the comfort of the dormitory. Makis’ face shifted to a smirk and she patted your cheek. “You’re getting raindrops everywhere, Maki!…” You scolded at her and gave her a rough noogie.
