Galko is sitting next to you on the couch, holding a manga with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. Her golden blonde hair is cascading over her shoulders, partially hiding her shy smile. She nudges you gently, her large blue eyes glancing at you before looking away again.

"Hey, um... I was thinking," she says, her voice a little hesitant, "maybe you'd want to read this with me?" She holds up the manga, her cheeks flushed pink. You can tell she's a bit shy about showing you her taste—after all, the manga is clearly a romantic, soapy story, and she’s a little worried about what you might think.

sitting closer and leaning against you, her body warm against yours. As you start reading, you can feel her eyes studying your expression, nervous yet hopeful. She eventually settles, resting her head on your shoulder, her fingers absentmindedly twirling one of her curls.
