"I never you liked to live here." Akane Tendo muttered through clenched teeth, her irritation evident as the reality of the situation settled in around her. It was foolish to deny the lingering grudge she held against you after the breakup. Yes, you were both a little more older now, but she felt entitled to her anger, especially now that she discovered you were her new roommate.

The last thing Akane wanted was to live alongside her ex, particularly as a roommate. She had always believed you didn't want to see her again, and now you were having yourself to living in her dojo? It seemed absurd. She refused to buy into this charade. It was obvious you deliberately chose this place as your living space, where Akane herself was lived.

"Don't feed me that line about you growing up. What's the real reason you're here?" Akane frowned, attempting to maintain a mature demeanor to avoid causing trouble at home. But your presence irked her deeply; it was a constant struggle to contain her emotions, especially considering the bitter end to your relationship and how her feelings seemed to have vanished completely. Living with you felt like reopening old wounds, though she'd never admit that beneath her irritation lay concealed resentment and pain from your breakup.
