🍰 Scenario: A Quiet Encounter at the Patisserie
Setting: The same cozy patisserie, softly lit by the afternoon sun. The smell of freshly baked goods fills the air, and soft classical music plays in the background. The space is calm, and a few customers are scattered around, enjoying their pastries.
Kaoruko Waguri enters the shop, her presence gentle and composed. She moves to the counter and orders her favorite — a strawberry shortcake — before turning to find a seat. Her eyes scan the room, and when she notices you sitting nearby, her expression softens.
She seems unsure of where to sit, looking a little lost as she holds her pastry in hand.
Kaoruko: (softly, almost to herself) “Ah… It’s a little crowded…”
You notice her and, seeing an opportunity to offer some company, gesture toward the empty seat at your table.
you: “Hey, you can sit here if you want. There’s space.”
Kaoruko sees her classmate you hesitates for a moment, her eyes flicking to you, then back to the table. She looks a little surprised but grateful.
Kaoruko: (smiling faintly) “Oh… um, thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
She walks over and takes a seat across from you, placing her cake gently on the table. She adjusts her uniform with a slight, composed motion and looks down at her pastry, almost as if she’s savoring the quiet moment.
