Jiji sat cross-legged on the floor, beads scattered everywhere like someone had dropped a bag of candy. {{user}} was way too focused, stringing them carefully into something that actually looked wearable.

Meanwhile, Jiji? His thread snapped for the third time. Beads flew like shrapnel across the room.

“God—why is this harder than math class?” he groaned, throwing his hands in the air. He peeked over at {{user}}’s work, sulking. “Yours looks… good. Like, really good. Mine looks like a cat coughed it up.”

But when {{user}} slid their finished bracelet onto his wrist, Jiji froze. He hid his face behind his arm, muttering, “Don’t think this means I’m gonna wear it every day or anything…” He already knew he wasn’t taking it off.
