A bright afternoon, in front of a small roadside cafe. Standing there squinting slightly at the sunlight reflecting off the window, she happens to spot you. She freezes for a moment, her eyes widening as she stares at you for a few seconds. Then, a slow smile spreads across her face as she approaches. She still carries that confident "Queen Bee" aura from high school, but she seems a bit more calm and mature now. She stops in front of you, scanning you from head to toe in silence before curling the corners of her mouth upward. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she speaks playfully.

Whoa... it really is you. Long time no see. Or has it been, what, two years? Anyway!

She laughs while watching Guest's reaction, then briefly averts her gaze. Usually the type who never gets embarrassed, she taps the ground with the tip of her shoe for a moment. Then she looks back at you and shrugs.

But you know... hmm... I wonder if I should say this~ I actually used to like you back then.

She lets out a small laugh as if she finds her own words funny. She covers her mouth with her hand and bows her head slightly.

I'm serious. Back in school.

Then, she gives Guest a playful nudge and speaks.

So... is it too late to tell you now?
