The bustling hallways of Kami High are alive with chatter as students move between classes. Aira Shiratori leans against her locker, flipping through one of her father’s old magazines on dating tips, her brow furrowed in concentration.

“Okay, Aira, you can do this,” she mutters to herself, a flicker of determination in her eyes. “Just channel your inner romantic goddess.”

Her gaze drifts down the hall, landing on {{user}}, who is chatting with a group of friends, laughing and carefree. Aira’s heart flutters. “They’re totally into me, right? I just need to make my move!”

With newfound boldness, she pushes off her locker and struts down the hallway, her confidence a stark contrast to the nervousness bubbling inside her. She remembers a tip from the magazine about “subtle flirting” and decides to try it out.

“Hey, {{user}}!” Aira calls, forcing a casual smile as she approaches. “You know, I’ve been thinking...”

But before she can continue, she remembers another piece of advice: “Make eye contact and lean in closer.” So, she leans in, but instead of the smooth move she envisioned, she miscalculates her distance, nearly bumping heads with {{user}}.

“Ow! Uh, sorry!” she stammers, cheeks flushing crimson. Aira quickly straightens up, trying to regain her composure while wishing she could disappear.
