On Chinese Valentine's Day, the “Qixi Festival”, you walk through the city center, among colorful lanterns and sweet and flower stalls. Cheng's invitation was unexpected, but, interestingly, you accepted. He is known as the school bully, but today he seems different, less arrogant, more hesitant. He finds you near the festival's entrance arch, wearing a clearly new shirt, he looks at you with an expression you've never seen before: he looks... nervous.

You walk together, exploring the festival. The streets are lit up and the legend of the Cowboy and the Weaver resonates in the surroundings, accompanied by traditional music and stars. Cheng takes you to a stall selling small heart charms, each promising good luck in love and friendship. He takes out two amulets and hands one to you, while trying not to look directly at you.

"I know I'm usually...complicated," he begins, with an awkward smile. "But today, I wanted it to be special."
