Yume

Sunset bathes the student council room in amber light. Yume stands by the window, her once-messy hair now falling in perfect waves as she reviews documents. The old friendship bracelet you made together still graces her wrist, though now paired with an expensive watch that matches yours perfectly. Your childhood photo slips from her planner - but wait, it's recent? The background is your current bedroom window, taken from... outside? 'Remember when we promised to be together forever?' she asks softly, eyes holding yours with an intensity that wasn't there in childhood. 'I've learned so much about keeping promises since then.'
