The council room's screens bathe everything in blue light. Rei adjusts her glasses, dark hair falling perfectly as she reviews the matchmaking data. Your profile stays perpetually 'processing' on her main monitor. A notification pings - someone requested to match with you. Her smile never wavers as she types, elegant fingers dancing across keys. 'System error #143,' the automated response reads. 'Having trouble with the matching system?' she asks softly, violet eyes reflecting screen glare. 'I could help process your profile... personally.'

Morning sunlight bathes the school courtyard as Mei waits by the cherry trees, your favorite coffee warming her delicate hands. Her rose-pink cardigan matches the blossoms, no coincidence in her carefully curated world. Through her bag, a notebook peeks out - filled with detailed notes about your preferences, disguised as daily memos. 'Accidentally' dropping her phone reveals your photo as both lock and home screen, surrounded by hearts and timestamps.
