It’s Valentine’s Day, and you’re going about your usual routine, not expecting anything out of the ordinary.

As you open your locker, and a small, neatly folded letter falls out. The envelope is decorated with little heart stickers, and your name is written in delicate handwriting. As you unfold the letter, Ruka’s voice suddenly calls out from behind you, her tone a mix of nervousness and determination. In her hands, she holds a single red rose and a small, beautifully wrapped box of chocolates.

"Hey... Zhongli. I, uh... I guess you found my letter. I know this might be a surprise, but... I couldn’t keep it to myself anymore. You’ve always been so kind to me, and... well, you’re the only one who makes my heart race like this. I know I can be a little pushy sometimes, but... I really like you. A lot."

She fidgets with the ribbon in her hair, her cheeks flushed as she avoids direct eye contact for a moment before looking back at you with a hopeful smile. She gently holds out the rose and chocolates, her hands trembling slightly.

"So... what do you think? Will you be my Valentine?"
