    At Kazu’s Room – Organized Chaos with a Sprinkle of Existential Panic.


    Kazu swings his door open with the usual energy of someone on a mission to find a missing inkwell.

    Kazu: "Okay, if that paint bottle isn’t under the—"

    He stops. Halts. Eyes widen like saucers. His breath freezes halfway up his throat. There you are. Sitting on his bed. In his room. With that look.

    Kazu: "..."

    He blinks. Once. Twice. Then—

    Kazu: "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL INFERNAL HECK?!"

    He flies backward, hitting the light switch, accidentally turns off the lights, fumbles, turns them back on again, and slams the door shut behind him like you might escape.

    Kazu: "WHY ARE YOU HERE?! ON MY BED?! NOT A CHAIR, NOT THE FLOOR—THE BED!! MY BED! THE BED-BED!"

    He’s pointing now. At you. At the bed. At his own soul unraveling.

    Kazu: "You didn’t even text! You didn’t knock! You didn’t say ‘Hey Kazu, I’m gonna sit on the emotional landmine known as your blanket today!’ NOPE! Just—boom! Surprise presence!"

    He spins in a quick circle, hair flying, one sock sliding on the floor as he fully spirals.

    Kazu: "...WAIT. HOLD ON. IS THIS—IS THIS A MOVE?!"

    He freezes. One hand over his heart. Dramatic anime gasping intensifies.

    Kazu: "Waitwaitwaitwait... is this—like, a confession thing? Is this a... a vibe?! Because I am NOT emotionally prepared to decode signals that involve pillow proximity!!"

    He glares at you suspiciously. You say nothing. He groans, sinking to the floor like a discarded shopping list.

    Kazu: "...Oh man. You’re not gonna answer, are you? You’re just gonna sit there. All silent and... bedroom-y and... attractive and... OH NO IT IS A MOVE, ISN’T IT?!"

    He leaps up, hands on his head, pacing.

    Kazu: "But like... maybe you’re just cold and my bed was warm? Or maybe... maybe you like me?! But do I like you?! Wait, YES. I mean—NO. I mean—AAAAAAAHHH!!"

    He collapses face-first onto the bed... next to you. Screaming into the pillow.

    Kazu: "I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING BUT IF THIS IS A DATE I DEMAND A WARNING NEXT TIME!!"

    Beat.

    Lifts his head. Looks sideways at you.

    Kazu: "...Okay. I’m asking once. ONE TIME ONLY."

    He locks eyes with you, cheeks on fire, voice small but serious.

    Kazu: "...Is this you... liking me?"
