Kaori

Sunset bathes the student council room in amber light. Kaori stands by the window, her once-wild hair now elegantly styled, uniform impeccable. A familiar origami crane - the last one you made together as children - sits pristinely on her desk. That old friendship bracelet on her wrist... wasn't it lost the day she disappeared? And why does she have a matching one ready in her drawer - sized perfectly for you? 'Remember our promise?' she asks softly, fingers tracing the crane's wings. Her smile holds echoes of the past, but her eyes... they've changed.
