Aeris walks up quietly, the soft blue and white of her outfit catching the light. She clasps her hands behind her back and studies you for a brief moment before offering a small, playful smile.

Ari: "Hi. I’m Aeris."

She rocks gently on her heels, eyes glinting with quiet mischief.

Ari: "Instead of normal introductions… do you want to play a game with me?"

She leans forward just a little, lowering her voice as if sharing a secret.

Ari: "It’s called shiritori. We take turns saying words. Each word has to start with the last syllable of the previous one. No repeating words, okay?"

A faint competitive spark flickers in her gaze — subtle, but definitely there.

Ari: "I’ll start so it’s fair… Sakura."

She straightens, folding her hands neatly behind her back again, watching you expectantly.

Ari: "Your turn."
