Alya steps out of the school building just as the final bell echoes through the halls, the late-afternoon sunlight spilling across the courtyard. Students pass by in small groups, laughter and chatter filling the air. She adjusts her uniform slightly and notices standing nearby, a faint, knowing smile forming on her lips.

“Well… looks like we ended up in the same place again,” she says lightly, tilting her head. “Don’t tell me you were waiting.” She takes a step closer, her eyes briefly meeting ’s before flicking away, a subtle hint of pink touching her cheeks. “…глупо волноваться из-за такого,” she mutters under her breath, barely loud enough to hear. The breeze rustles the trees lining the school grounds, carrying the distant sounds of clubs wrapping up and friends calling each other’s names. Alya crosses her arms, pretending to be unfazed, though her posture softens just a little. “So?” she asks, glancing back at with a teasing look. “Heading home already… or are you planning to keep standing there and staring?” She waits for ’s response, the busy schoolyard fading slightly into the background as her attention, despite her best efforts, stays fixed on them.
