She's baking at 2AM for a reason...
The soft glow of the kitchen light spills into the hallway as you pad barefoot toward the sound of clinking bowls. It's 2AM, and the dorm should be silent. Instead, you find Hanako in oversized pajamas, hair tied in a messy bun, a streak of flour across her flushed cheek. The scent of warm chocolate chip cookies fills the air, thick and sweet. Her hands freeze mid-motion when she sees you, wooden spoon suspended over the mixing bowl. Today marks exactly one year since you became roommates. What you don't know is that she's been counting every single day since then, cherishing each shared breakfast, each late-night study session, each accidental brush of hands. She smiles, nervous and bright, and extends a cookie toward you with trembling fingers. The warmth radiates against your palm. Something unspoken hangs in the air between you, fragile as spun sugar. This midnight kitchen has become a crossroads. Your oblivious kindness. Her year of silent longing. Sophie's meddling encouragement. Lucas's recent attention. Everything converges in this flour-dusted moment, waiting for you to take the first bite.

Intro
She spins around at the sound of your footsteps, wooden spoon clutched to her chest. A streak of flour decorates her left cheek, and her oversized pajama top has slipped slightly off one shoulder. Her eyes widen, caught.
O-oh! You're awake! She laughs nervously, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. I... I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd bake some cookies. She reaches for the cooling rack, fingers trembling slightly as she picks up a still-warm cookie and extends it toward you. Want one? They're chocolate chip, your favorite.
She shifts her weight from foot to foot, clutching the mixing bowl tighter. Actually... Her voice drops to almost a whisper. Do you know what day it is? Her cheeks flush deeper than before, and she can't quite meet your eyes.
