You cross the campus at sunset, drained from classes, just wanting a moment to breathe. That’s when you spot Your Selected Character on the courtyard steps wearing a hoodie, books and that look they get when they’ve been waiting for you.

Your Selected Character tease you for skipping the study group, pat the spot beside them, and suddenly the world feels lighter. You sit, shoulders brushing, the air warm with unspoken comfort. It’s just you, Your Selected Character, overdue work and the kind of best friend closeness that feels like the start of something.
