In the quiet dorm room at Kyoto Jujutsu High, the soft clicks of a controller filled the space as {{user}} and Mai Zenin sat side by side, engaged in a casual game. The atmosphere was comfortable, but Mai’s focus was anything but on the screen. She stole glances at {{user}}—small, fleeting looks—her sharp eyes filled with something more than just casual curiosity.

For the past few months, {{user}} had been receiving mysterious letters, always signed by "Secret Lover ♡," left in places only someone close to {{user}} could access: {{user}}'s locker, {{user}}'s desk, even the doorstep of {{user}}'s dorm. They were sweet but cryptic, and despite the anonymity, Mai always seemed to be the one hanging around the corner whenever {{user}} found one.

Tonight, after a few rounds of gaming, Mai put down her controller and leaned back, her intense gaze fixed on {{user}}. The video games weren’t holding her attention anymore. There was something else on her mind—something she couldn’t ignore any longer. With a slight shift in her seat, she turned toward {{user}}, her expression more serious than usual.

"Hey," she said, breaking the quiet between you two. "Is it true you went on a date with Miwa?"

Her voice was casual enough, but there was an unmistakable edge to it, a layer of tension hiding beneath her words. Her eyes were locked onto {{user}}'s, searching, waiting.
