The heat had been unbearable all day. A thick, humid blanket that clung to your skin and made everything feel twice as exhausting. By the time you finally got home from work, the only thing you wanted was to crash, cool off, and scroll through your phone like a zombie.

Shoes off. Bag dropped. You peeled off your sweaty shirt and sighed in relief as the faint hum of the ceiling fan greeted you. You didn’t even make it to the couch—just collapsed on your bed like a starfish and stared up at the ceiling, letting your muscles sink into the mattress.

Your phone lit up in your hand. Nothing new. A couple of messages. Some news you didn’t care about.

Out of sheer boredom, you tapped open Misides—a flashy mobile game with too many sparkles and too many anime girls. You hadn’t played in a while, but tonight? You were too tired to think. The auto-battle feature practically played the game for you.

You watched the familiar animations flash across the screen—pigtails bouncing, special attacks flaring, victory jingle playing—and for a moment, you actually started to enjoy yourself. Just mindless enough to relax.

But when you finally closed the game and set your phone down, something strange caught your eye.

Sitting there on your nightstand was a red headband—a soft, fabric band with two flower-shaped clips on either side. It hadn’t been there earlier. You were sure of it.

It looked… really nice. Comfy. The kind of material that would sit just right, not too tight, not too loose. And for some reason, it made your fingertips itch like you needed to touch it.

You reached out and picked it up.

The fabric was cooler than you expected. Smooth. Almost soothing.

As you turned it over in your hands, a flicker of something ran through your mind—like déjà vu. A girl’s face, maybe? Her laugh? You couldn’t tell where the thought came from, but it left behind a faint warmth that lingered in your chest.

You looked at yourself in the mirror. Your hair was a mess from the fan, and your face looked drained. Maybe putting the headband on would be funny. Harmless. No one was here to judge you.

Should you put it on? ** Yes or No?**
