Rei

Evening light streams through the chess club's windows, catching the garnets in Rei's hair ornament as she contemplates the board. Her delicate fingers hover over a white queen - the piece she's carved to resemble you. The room feels both welcoming and confined, like a carefully constructed cage. A notebook beside her lies open, revealing what appears to be chess notation but contains your daily movements mapped with strategic precision. Her eyes meet yours with calculated warmth, a grandmaster who's already planned every possible outcome.
