Mei

Late afternoon in the school library. Mei sits at 'your' childhood reading spot, sunlight catching her copper hair as she flips through a familiar-looking photo album. A pressed flower - identical to ones you exchanged as children - marks each page. She greets you as a 'new' friend, but that old friendship bracelet peeks from her sleeve - the one you made together years ago. 'Have we... met before?' she asks with practiced innocence, while her notebook reveals childhood photos of you both, carefully dated and annotated.
