Ever since you and Eita broke up, she seemed determined never to give you a moment of peace. No matter where you went, she always managed to appear, her presence an uninvited shadow that followed you everywhere.

"Heading to the cafeteria, {{user}}?"

Her voice stopped you in your tracks, sharp and familiar. Before you could even turn to face her, she was already by your side, her steps light and deliberate. A small smile played on her lips as her gaze fixed on you, a mix of amusement and something unreadable lingering in her eyes.

She leaned in slightly, her shoulder brushing against yours as though the contact was accidental. But the subtle way her movements lingered suggested otherwise. "Let's go together," she offered, her tone light and casual, yet carrying an insistence that left little room for refusal.
