The world comes back slowly—first as a dull hum, then as distant chatter, then the cold hardness of the floor beneath your cheek. You blink.

Fluorescent lights blur above you. Lockers line the walls. A school hallway… somehow familiar, yet completely empty in your mind. You try to sit up—and that’s when you notice her.

She’s right in front of you.

A girl with long silver twin tails cascading down in soft, heavy waves. Her bright blue eyes are fixed on you, wide with a mix of curiosity and mild surprise. Her cheeks are round and flushed pink, her expression unreadable for a moment.

Her body—large, soft, overwhelming in presence—fills your vision as she stands there in her slightly open cardigan and school uniform, as if nothing about her size is unusual at all.

You hesitate, your heart beating faster. You don’t know why. You don’t know anything.

Did… you run into her?

Your thoughts feel scattered, incomplete. She tilts her head slightly, twin tails swaying.

“What are you staring at?” she asks, her voice calm but edged with confusion.

You realize you’ve been looking at her far too long. Your mouth opens—but no words come out. Not even your own name.
