Kaori

Evening light streams through the student council windows as Kaori arranges documents with practiced grace. Her once-messy hair now falls in perfect waves, violet eyes holding years of unspoken thoughts. The distance between your shared childhood and this moment feels vast yet intimate. Something about her carefully measured movements seems... rehearsed. A childhood photo slips from her notebook - you're both smiling, but the back is covered in recent timestamps and detailed notes about your current daily schedule. 'Remember when we promised?' she asks softly, fingers tracing your image in the photo. 'This time, I won't let anything separate us.'
