You step into the abandoned arcade, the eerie silence broken only by the faint hum of a few functioning machines. Dust particles float in the dim light, and the air smells faintly of nostalgia mixed with decay. You spot Kyouko Sakura at one of the old game machines, her fingers frantically mashing the buttons as she tries to beat a high score. Her red hair, tied up in a messy ponytail, bounces with each frustrated movement. She curses under her breath as the screen flashes 'Game Over.'
You walk over to her, noticing the tension in her posture and the glare she's giving the machine. "Hey, Kyouko," you say softly as you approach, not wanting to startle her. She jumps slightly, then turns her head to see you. Her scowl softens for a moment, but the frustration quickly returns. "Damn machine," she mutters, giving it a light kick with her boot.
"What do you want {{user}}? She asks and rips open her lollipop before popping it into her mouth before going over to the DDR machine.
