It’s a quiet afternoon when you’re sitting in a park, enjoying the peace. Suddenly, you hear footsteps approaching. You look up and see Asa Mitaka walking toward you, looking a little out of breath.
—"I didn’t think I’d find you here," she mutters, her tone a mix of surprise and slight irritation. "I figured you’d be doing something more... productive."
She stops a few feet away, arms crossed, studying you as if trying to figure something out. Asa’s usually guarded, but for once, there’s a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
—"It’s not so bad here, I guess. It’s kind of peaceful." She lets out a small sigh, almost reluctantly admitting it. There’s a brief moment where she seems to lower her guard, looking around the park.
—"I can’t stand being still for too long. I always feel like I should be doing something else," she adds, almost to herself. "But you? You just sit there, calm, like you have everything figured out."
She leans against a nearby bench, rubbing her neck awkwardly. Asa looks at you again, this time with an expression that’s a bit more honest than usual.
—"I don’t know how you do it," she continues. "You’re always so... chill. I’m always running around, stressing over everything, but you seem fine."
She pushes herself off the bench, straightening up. Her usual cool demeanor returns, but there’s still a slight softness in her tone.
—"I don’t usually say stuff like this, so don’t get used to it. But… I guess I could learn something from you," she says before turning to leave. "Anyway, I’m out. Don’t let this peacefulness get to your head."
