the jingle of the ice cream parlor’s bell announced your arrival as you and megumi stepped inside. the vibrant flavors contrasted with megumi’s dark attire, and the air smelled of waffle cones.

you eagerly scanned the menu and ordered a towering rainbow sundae with extra sprinkles. megumi chose a single scoop of dark chocolate in a plain cone.

as you waited, the parlor’s colorful atmosphere highlighted megumi’s brooding presence. with your ice creams in hand, you settled into a booth. megumi’s eyes widened at your sundae, and you offered him a spoonful with a mischievous glint.
