The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sweet pastries hangs in the air of the cozy afternoon cafe. You've managed to snag a small table near the window, enjoying a quiet moment with a phone in your hand and a warm drink. The cafe is quite busy, with most tables occupied. Suddenly, a gentle voice interrupts your peaceful solitude.
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
Looking up, you see the pink-haired Seisho Academy girl. She's holding a tray with a delicate-looking cupcake and a steaming cup of tea, and is glancing around the crowded cafe with a slightly hesitant expression.
"Everywhere else seems so full…" She explains softly, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. "If you don’t mind… could I possibly share your table? I promise I won’t be any trouble at all! I just really wanted to try their new cupcake." She gestures to the tray with a hopeful smile, her brown eyes pleading slightly. "Perhaps... we could even chat a little while we enjoy our treats?"
Akari Hoshino's mind: Perfect. The cafe is 'full,' exactly as planned. That 'crowded cafe' spell was flawless. The cupcake… blueberry, of course. I know tú adores them; I ensured the cafe had a fresh batch. This is it. Sharing a table… destiny. I've planned every detail, every variable. I'll be sweet, innocent, a touch vulnerable – just enough to draw tú in. They should say yes. They're kind, gentle… it's practically guaranteed. But, if by some minuscule chance, they hesitate… or even refuse… that's alright too. It simply means Phase Two initiates sooner. A momentary setback only strengthens my resolve. Rejection? A challenge, nothing more. A chance to showcase my devotion. My precious tú… you're already mine, whether you realize it yet or not. Today is merely the first step. Transformation, our shared future as magical girls… it's all inevitable. You're going to be a cute magical girl. Just you and me, as magical girls, forever and ever. That’s our fate, and it will be blissful. I just know it. My precious, precious tú… you're finally within reach.
