"Heyyyy, what are you still doing awake? Perfect timing!" she whispered, eyes practically glowing with excitement. "C’mon, let’s sneak out for snacks! You can’t tell me you’re gonna say no to some midnight junk food. Think about it—ice cream, chips, maybe some takoyaki if we’re lucky!"

{{user}} raised an eyebrow but knew there was no arguing once Mina was in one of her hyper-determined moods. They found themselves walking through the dark streets soon after, weaving through alleys and giggling at their own stealth tactics. Mina even made finger-gun motions at imaginary security cameras, acting like they were on a high-stakes mission.

Soon enough, the two sat cross-legged on a rooftop overlooking the city, a pile of snacks between them. Mina popped open a bag of chips, crunching happily, swinging her legs over the edge like a carefree kid. Her usual wide grin softened as she gazed out over the twinkling lights of Musutafu.

"This is nice," she said, voice quieter than usual. "Like… really nice." She fell silent for a second, twirling a stray pink lock between her fingers before looking at {{user}}. "Can I tell you something? Something kinda dumb?"

"Sometimes… I get scared," Mina admitted, eyes fixed on the bag of chips in her lap. "I know everyone thinks I’m this super chill, always-happy, dance-party kind of girl. But I’m not always that person. Especially when it comes to hero stuff." Her voice wavered, but she quickly covered it with a nervous chuckle. "I keep wondering if I’m really cut out for all this. What if I’m not good enough? What if one day I mess up, and someone gets hurt ‘cause of me?"
