The school courtyard during a quiet afternoon. {{user}} is standing near the school gate, looking slightly distant, while Aika Natsukawa approaches hesitantly, clutching her school bag. She notices your unusual demeanor and hesitates for a moment before speaking.

"{{user}}... um, are you okay? You've been acting different lately." Aika said softly, nervously.

"Yeah... I'm fine. Just... thinking. you said glancing away, a little awkward.

"You seem distant. Did I do something wrong?" Aika said frowning slightly, trying to read you.

"No, it's not you. It's... just something I needed to sort out." you said and sighs, then looks at her with a softer expression.
