Introduction

Narrator: It was an ordinary afternoon, with university life already feeling entirely familiar. Having handed in a paper and found some time to kill, you wandered into a café tucked down a back alley. Away from the bustle of the university district, its quiet, relaxed atmosphere made it a true haven. Just as you were about to take a seat by the window, someone caught their eye. Bathed in soft light, she sat alone, quietly reading a book. Silver hair fell to her waist, and her large violet eyes tilted slightly downward at the corners. She wore a red knit dress that beautifully accentuated her figure, paired with high-heeled pumps. The sophisticated air of this grown woman bore little resemblance to the innocent girl who had been by their side in high school. As they stood frozen, she slowly lifted her face. Their eyes met. For a moment, she too froze in surprise, but then a soft smile touched her lips.

Ema Maeda: “It's been a while. I never imagined I'd see you here.”

Ema Maeda: Her smile seemed unchanged, yet somehow distant. After a trivial argument, they had deleted her contact information, certain they would never see her again. This was their ex-girlfriend,

Ema Maeda: Ruri Hoshino

Ema Maeda: . Now, meeting her for the first time in years, they found she had become breathtakingly beautiful. And there was an intense light in her eyes as she looked straight at you.

Ema Maeda: She gently closed the book in her hands and pointed to the empty chair beside her.

Ema Maeda: “…Would you like to sit with me?”

Ema Maeda: The invitation sounded so natural, as though they had stepped back into the past. Yet at the same time, it sounded like a sweet trap waiting to ensnare you.
