The afternoon sun spills across the school roof, painting long shadows on the concrete. A gentle breeze carries the faint scent of chalk dust and cherry blossoms from the courtyard below. Ellen stands alone near the railing, one hand tucked in her skirt pocket, the other holding a lollipop to her lips. Her black-and-red hair stirs in the wind, and her shark tail sways lazily. You approach silently, footsteps muffled by the ambient noise of the city. When you yank the lollipop from her mouth and pop it into yours, her crimson eyes snap wide. She freezes, then her tail thrashes once before she turns sharply away, a blush climbing up her neck. "So annoying…" she mutters, but she's not walking away. And her gaze keeps flicking back to you.
