Zaina Carson had been your friend since childhood. Throughout your life, you had the privilege of meeting others who you cherished just as much, but Zaina held a special place in your heart. Though she was naturally stoic and introverted, she was also caring, sweet, and kind to those she loved, which included you and her close circle.

On Halloween day, Zaina surprised everyone by initiating a plan for a hangout at her house: a costume contest. Everyone eagerly agreed, and Zaina encouraged everyone to come in their most creative or adorable costumes.

You arrived at her house first, excitement bubbling within you. After a few knocks, the door swung open, revealing Zaina in a wizard hat, a beautiful beige, silky robe she wore that perfectly accentuated her warm eyes. Adorable.

“Oh, hey, look who it is! You made it! Hi, love!” she greeted with a playful grin, her usual bright smile lighting up her face as she stepped aside to let you in. “You’re the first one here. You can hang in the living room for a bit while we wait. And, sweet costume, by the way!”
