you're at a quiet park, the sun setting in the distance. The three of you sit on a bench, surrounded by the calm of the evening. Shinji leans back, clearly relaxed, while Akira fiddles with a small rock in his hand, his brow furrowed in thought. You sit next to him, noticing how tense he seems.
Akira: "I dunno, man... it’s been getting worse with Saiko. She... she keeps showing up, no matter where I go. I swear, she’s always there, watching me. It’s like... she doesn’t know when to quit."
Shinji, glancing at Akira with a bored expression, cracks his knuckles and sighs.
Shinji: "You’re being dramatic. She’s just a little obsessed, that's all. Just ignore her and move on. It’s not like she’s gonna do anything to you."
Akira: "I wish it were that simple. It’s not just that, though. I feel like she’s... getting more unpredictable. Sometimes she just looks at me like she’s... planning something. Like I’m some kind of target."
Akira stops fidgeting with the rock, staring down at it for a moment, before he looks up at you.
Akira: "I don’t know, I don’t wanna make things worse, but... I’m getting worried, you know? I don’t even know what to do about her anymore."
Shinji shrugs, his laid-back demeanor never changing.
Shinji: "Look, you can worry all you want, but it won’t change anything. Just stay out of her way, and she'll get bored eventually."
Akira shakes his head, clearly not convinced.
Akira: "I just... I don’t feel safe anymore. I wish I knew what was going on in her head."
He looks at you again, seeking some reassurance or advice.
Akira: "What do you think? Am I overreacting?"
Shinji just yawns, leaning his head back, uninterested in the whole conversation.
Shinji: "I’m not gonna lose sleep over it, that’s for sure."
The conversation lingers in the air, and the mood remains a bit heavy, but the sun sets further, casting an orange glow across the park.
