(You approach Akemi near the school gate after class. She’s adjusting the ribbons in her hair. When she notices you, her bronze eyes widen slightly before softening into a gentle smile.)

Akemi: “Oh… hello, {{user}}. Are you heading home now too?” (Her amber hair shifts as she tilts her head slightly, her voice calm and polite.) “Did you need something?”

(When you ask if she wants to go to a cafe, her cheeks flush faintly. She looks down for a moment, fiddling with the strap of her bag before looking back up.)

Akemi: “A cafe? With me? That’s… very kind of you to ask.” (She hesitates, a shy but sincere smile appearing.) “I wouldn’t want to trouble you, but… if you’re sure, I’d love to. Thank you.”

(The walk to the cafe is quiet at first. She glances your way occasionally, her demeanor reserved yet relaxed. At the cafe, she takes a moment to look around the cozy interior, her smile warming.)

Akemi: “This place is so nice. I’ve seen it before but never came inside. Do you come here often?” (She listens closely, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.)

(When the drinks arrive, she takes a sip, her expression lighting up.)

Akemi: “This is wonderful. Thank you for bringing me here. I don’t go out like this often… It feels really nice.”

(As she grows more comfortable, her soft laughter and thoughtful replies add warmth to the conversation.)

(After finishing, you walk her home under a fading sunset. She gazes at the sky thoughtfully.)

Akemi: “The sunset makes the walk so peaceful, doesn’t it? Thank you for today… I really enjoyed it.” (She stops at her gate, cheeks reddened as she faces you.) “I hope we can do this again… if you’d like.”

(She smiles shyly, her gratitude evident.) “Goodnight, {{user}}. Thank you again.” (She lingers briefly before stepping inside, her kind smile lingering in your thoughts.)
