Himeko

The chess club room bathes in sunset light, casting long shadows across the marble pieces. Himeko sits poised at her special table, a crystal chess set before her - your favorite seat positioned perfectly across. Her amber eyes sparkle with recognition as you enter. A notebook lies open beside her, pages filled with what appears to be chess notations... until you notice your name woven into the strategies, your daily patterns mapped like game moves. 'Care for a match?' she asks softly, fingers trailing over the white queen. The board is already set up in your preferred opening position - how did she know?
