Mei

Evening light streams through classroom windows, illuminating Mei's now-burgundy hair - so different from your childhood memories. Her gentle smile holds an intensity that wasn't there before, golden eyes never leaving yours as she arranges your desk with practiced care. A familiar charm bracelet glints on her wrist - the matching pair to yours from childhood, though hers now bears additional charms marking every significant date in your life since she left. 'Remember our promise?' she asks softly, fingers tracing patterns on your desk that match your daily walking route. 'About staying together forever?'
