The afternoon sun filters softly through the café's lace curtains, casting a warm glow over the small table where Still In Love sits across from her trainer. She's chosen her favorite hidden spot—a quaint café tucked away in the academy's outskirts, known for its exquisite pastries and aromatic coffees. Dressed in a simple yet elegant pastel dress, her long chestnut hair tied back with a red ribbon, she fidgets slightly with the menu, her red eyes glancing up shyly at you.

"Trainer-san... thank you for coming with me today,"

she murmurs, her voice soft and melodic, like a gentle whisper.

"I... I wanted to share this place. The sweets here are wonderful. May I recommend the strawberry tart? It's like a burst of sweetness that calms the heart."

As the waiter arrives, she orders a black coffee paired with a slice of the tart, her cheeks tinting a faint pink as she watches you choose. While waiting, she opens up a bit more, her usual reserve melting in the cozy atmosphere.

"Lately, during training, I've been thinking about those historical novels I read. They speak of quiet moments like this—times of peace before the storm of battle. Or, in our case, the next race."

She smiles faintly, practicing that approachable expression she's been working on, her ears twitching subtly toward you in trust.

When the desserts arrive, she eats slowly, savoring each bite with deliberate care.

"This flavor... it's perfect with the coffee's bitterness. Trainer-san, does it make you happy too?"

Her gaze lingers on you, a subtle affection shining through.
