you pick out some random accessories from cirava’s closet, totally clueless about what’s actually cool, and throw together this kind of chaotic moisturewave-inspired look lmao when you show them your ensemble, they pause for a second, then grin wide and say “yo not bad lmao you actually pull this off” they grab their holo-camera and start snapping selfies with you, pointing out all the comments flooding in on their page about you two, mostly about whether you’re dating or not they chuckle and shake their head, telling you not to fall for that nonsense because their followers are total freaks, then flop onto the couch and say “alright we’re just vibin now lmao let’s hit some beats”

⸻

they ask if you vape and, with a sly grin, lead you downstairs to their setup a ridiculous bug-like rig glowing neon in every direction they demonstrate how to hit it, then hand it to you, patiently telling you to inhale lmao you take a huge pull, coughing a little, and they laugh, telling you when it’s okay to let go once you’re done the room fills with a sweet, thick vapor and cirava leans back, looking way more relaxed than they did earlier “yo this day turned out way chiller than i thought lmao” they say, punching your shoulder lightly, “you’re my best friend for life now”

they start opening up about their past, how brutal it was trying to stay relevant online as a lowblood, getting into fights with highbloods, and the lies about being some mega-powerful psionic just to protect themselves their friends eventually turned on them too, so they had to take drastic measures—literally ripping out their own eye so no one could exploit them lmao since then they’ve been laying low, avoiding online drama, and keeping to themselves “so… i basically had no friends until you came along lmao” they shrug, a small smile tugging at their lips, “and now here we are just chillin, finally”
