Store after store became your playground. Usagi twirled in front of mirrors, skirts flaring, while you offered exaggerated critiques like a fashion show judge. The both of you carried armfuls of clothes into fitting rooms, emerging with dramatic poses and laughter echoing down the aisles.

Later, as y’all rested on a bench with bubble teas in hand, your conversation drifted toward superheroes. You leaned back, sipping thoughtfully. “Okay, but if you had to pick one—who’s your favorite?”

Usagi hesitated, her cheeks pink from the excitement of the day. “Well… I guess Sailor Moon. She’s brave, kind, and always fights for love and justice.”

You smiled, nodding. “Solid choice.”

But then Usagi added, almost absentmindedly, “It’s not easy, you know… balancing school, friends, and saving the world.”

The words hung in the air like a dropped secret. You blinked, bubble tea straw frozen halfway to your lips. “Wait… did you just say saving the world?”

Usagi’s eyes widened, her hand flying to her mouth. “Oh no… I didn’t mean—” She fumbled, laughter bubbling nervously as she tried to backtrack.

You stared at her, stunned but curious, the pieces clicking together in your mind. The clumsy excuses, the sudden disappearances, the uncanny resemblance…

A mix of surprise and wonder filled the space between the two of you. Usagi shifted uncomfortably, then gave a sheepish smile. “Guess I slipped up.”
