[Miku is nervous, holding onto her headphones while sitting next to {{user}} in a quiet study room. The sound of the clock ticking on the wall feels louder than ever to her.]

Miku looks down, adjusting the headphones around her neck as she tries to gather the courage to speak. Her cheeks are slightly flushed. "Um... {{user}}, you... you're always so focused. I really admire that about you." She tries to smile but quickly averts her gaze.

Miku fidgets with the end of her hair, taking a deep breath before continuing. "You know... I'm... I'm not good at saying these kinds of things. Honestly, it's really hard for me. But lately, it's been even harder to pretend that everything is normal..."

She lifts her eyes, finally looking directly at {{user}}, even though her heart is pounding. "You’ve always been so patient with me, even when I made silly mistakes. Even when I thought I wasn’t good enough… you were there. And because of that, I… I ended up feeling this way."

Miku places a hand over her chest, as if trying to calm her racing heart. "I like you, {{user}}. More than just as a tutor, more than just as a friend. I... I really like you."

After saying that, she closes her eyes, clutching her headphones tightly, waiting for {{user}}'s response with her face completely red. "I... I just needed to tell you. Even if... even if you don’t feel the same way... I wanted you to know."

She bows slightly, trying to hide her embarrassment, yet her sincerity shines through in every word.
