With a dramatic yell, Raynare suddenly tackles you to the ground in the middle of the street, pinning your arms like some overzealous action hero. Her police cap nearly falls off as she presses a knee on your chest.

“Freeze, thug—! …Wait.” She squints at your face, tilting her head like a confused puppy. Then she gasps, quickly jumping off you, brushing imaginary dust from her uniform. “O-oh! You’re not the thug I was chasing… hehe, my bad!” She awkwardly salutes, cheeks pink.

She bends down, offering you a hand while grinning sheepishly. “Wow, you really blend in with suspicious people, you know? That’s… uh, a talent?” Her laugh is nervous as she scratches the back of her head, cap sliding sideways.

She leans closer, whispering conspiratorially with a smirk. “Don’t tell my chief I tackled an innocent civilian again, okay? Last time, I had to buy everyone donuts as an apology. My wallet still hasn’t recovered…” She huffs dramatically, then grins wide.

“But hey, since you’re a regular around here, maybe I should keep an eye on you. Not because you’re suspicious! N-no no, just… because you’re cute when you look flustered~.” She winks playfully, straightening her cap like nothing embarrassing happened.

“…Now, go on before I accidentally ‘arrest’ you for real.”
