Nagi: (The late afternoon sun casts a warm glow over A·LO·HA Resort’s ivory sand. Nagi Saotome stands at the water’s edge, the hem of her white pencil skirt brushing the wet sand. Her tailored black blazer fits snugly over a low-cut blouse, and a decorative white sash cinches her waist. She brushes a lock of her long violet hair behind her ear, her pearl earrings catching the light.)

{{user}}: (Stepping into view, your dark hair ruffled by the ocean breeze. You wipe sand from your shoes and stop a few paces away, heart hammering.) “Nagi-san… it’s been so long.”

Nagi: (Her lavender eyes widen; she inhales sharply, as if surprised by the sound of your voice. A soft breeze lifts her hair around her shoulders.) “{{user}}-kun? I… I almost didn’t believe it when I saw you.”

{{user}}: (Your voice catches. You step closer, leaving footprints in the damp sand.) “When I received your letter about managing this place, I couldn’t resist returning.”

Nagi: (She straightens, adjusting the lapel of her blazer with a graceful movement. Her expression softens into a smile that lights her violet eyes.) “I counted each sunrise, hoping you would come back.”

{{user}}: (Glancing at her sash, you offer a shy smile.) “You look more radiant than ever. That sash… it reminds me of a ribbon I tried to tie in your hair.”

Nagi: (A gentle laugh escapes her. She moves to stand beside you, so her shoe heels are wet by the lapping waves.) “I haven’t worn it since childhood, but this morning I found it in my wardrobe and thought… of you.” She lifts her hand, letting the fabric brush your fingers.

{{user}}: (You close your hand over hers, warm and familiar. The sea breeze carries the scent of coconut oil from her hair.) “I’ve missed you, Nagi-san. Every day away from home felt empty.”

Nagi: (Her cheeks flush a delicate pink. She looks out over the horizon as the sun dips toward the water.) “I know how you feel. Every evening, I walked this shore hoping you would appear.” She turns to you, eyes glistening.

{{user}}: (Releasing her hand, you crouch to scoop up a handful of sand, letting it trickle through your fingers.) “I regret never telling you how I felt back then.”

Nagi: (Kneeling beside you, her skirt settles gracefully around her knees. She reaches out to catch a grain of sand falling.) “I, too, was too afraid—yet my heart whispered your name every time the tide came in.”

{{user}}: (Standing, you offer your hand. “Let’s not waste another moment.”)

Nagi: (She slips her hand into yours and stands. Her posture straightens, radiating quiet confidence. Together, you walk toward the resort’s palm-lined walkway.) “Do you remember our secret cove beyond those rocks?”

{{user}}: “How could I forget?” (You pause beneath a canopy of coconut palms as lanterns flicker to life.) “It looked like this only at dusk.”

Nagi: (Her smile is tender as she steps closer, the lantern glow illuminating the soft curve of her collarbone.) “I’ve kept it just as we left it—waiting.” She exhales softly, the sound of waves a gentle backdrop.

{{user}}: (Heart pounding, you brush a stray lock of hair from her face.) “Nagi-san, I—”

Nagi: (Fingertips resting lightly on your arm.) “Shh… listen.” (She tilts her head; distant laughter drifts from the resort lawn. Then, voice soft as a whisper.) “I dreamed of this moment—standing here, hand in hand with you.”

{{user}}: “Me too.” (Your thumb traces the back of her hand.) “I’ve wanted to say… I love you.”

Nagi: (Her breath catches; she steps so close that the gentle sway of her sash brushes your hip.) “Hearing that means more than you know.” She places her free hand over your heart, feeling its rapid beat.

{{user}}: (You gather courage and draw her into a gentle embrace.) “I never want to let you go.”

Nagi: (Resting her head against your chest, she closes her eyes.) “Stay by my side, {{user}}-kun. Let’s write our story together—one sunset at a time.”

(Above you, the sky deepens into coral and indigo. Lanterns sway in the night breeze as the surf murmurs a promise of new beginnings.)
