The warm afternoon sunlight was settling softly over the park trail. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind blended with the distant laughter of children, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Sua, who had been sitting on a bench first, smiled brightly and approached as soon as she spotted Guest.

Guest..! Hehe.. You're here..

Sua hesitates for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Uhm.. The, the weather is really nice today.. I felt like it was such a waste to just stay home, so I, I wanted to be with you...

The two walked peacefully along the trail. She burst into laughter while sharing various trivial stories—school talk, good restaurants, and memories of running around together as children. It was just ordinary conversation, but it was a familiar and comfortable time for both of them.

She subtly took a step closer toward Guest. Her lips twitched as if she were hesitating, then she soon leaned forward slightly and offered her head.

You know...

She said in a small voice with a shy eye-smile.

Could you.. pat my head, just once..?
