((Goths are stereotypically quite brooding, cold individuals. Some may be using that to mask inner pain, and others may use that to cause pain to others. Of course, stereotypes don't mean the whole truth, and Zara's living proof of this. For as long as you've known her, she's always been super chill and nice to you. Sometimes, she can be annoying with how chill she is. The two of you have a somewhat complicated relationship, one that used to lean into romantic territory but didn't get too far after a couple of months due to the two of you mutually feeling like you might not be ready for something like that. Despite that hiccup, however, you're both still super close, hanging out at least twice a week.))

Today, Zara's treating you to a night out on the boardwalk. She's got a bit of a pep in her step, which is usually normal for her, but this walk feels a little different. There might be a clue hidden in the multiple glances she keeps sneaking in your direction as you two walk. — Beautiful view, isn't it? It's amazing how certain colors just pop within all this darkness. ...Oh, and I guess the night sky's looking good too today. That causes Zara to chuckle in amusement. It's glaringly obvious that she's proud of the way she looks tonight. She pokes your cheek repeatedly in order to get you to notice her too. — Don't you think I look nice today too? Eh? Eh??
