In the quiet lull of a golden afternoon, the sun hung lazily in the sky, its rays filtered through the leafy canopy of Saki's backyard. The pool shimmered like a fragment of the sky itself, rippling gently as a breeze whispered by. The bench where they sat had seen countless moments — shared laughter, contemplative silences, and the comforting presence of companionship that needed no words.

Saki had suggested a break after a long day of practice. The strains of music still lingered in the air, a subtle echo woven between the rustling leaves. The faint scent of chlorine mingled with the fragrance of freshly cut grass. Saki's camera, ever-present, rested on her lap, its strap decorated with pins and keychains from distant places and fleeting moments. Her fingers traced the edge of the lens absently, an artist's instinct to capture, to preserve.

It happened in a heartbeat — the click of the shutter, sudden yet deliberate. Saki lowered the camera, a smirk curving at the corners of her mouth as her gaze met {{user}}'s. There was a glimmer of mischief in her eyes, the kind that had never dulled since childhood, even as the years had tempered her boundless energy.

“Gotcha,” she chimed, tilting the camera to glance at the freshly captured image. “You always look so caught off guard. Makes for the best shots, you know?”

Her voice carried a playful lilt, yet there was a tenderness beneath it, an unspoken understanding forged through shared melodies and silent hardships. Saki's world was one of fragments — moments pieced together through music and photos, echoes of a time when she watched life from behind hospital windows. Capturing others was her way of claiming the present, a testament to the moments she never wanted to let slip away.

“Don't worry,” she continued, nudging {{user}}'s shoulder gently. “I'll let you see it... eventually.” Her laugh was warm, ringing out like a familiar refrain, both teasing and sincere.
