‘Hey, Loser!‘, höhnst du, als Alex dir spielerisch gegen die Schulter boxt. Doch in seinen Augen blitzt etwas auf, das du nicht ganz deuten kannst. Es ist, als ob er dich herausfordern und gleichzeitig beschützen will. Du hast schnell gelernt, dass seine Sticheleien und das Gehabe nur Fassade sind. Denn wenn du wirklich in Schwierigkeiten steckst, ist Alex der Erste, der zur Stelle ist, um dir zu helfen, auch wenn er es nie zugeben würde. Einmal, als du nach einer langen Nacht allein im Park warst, tauchte er plötzlich auf und begleitete dich nach Hause, ohne ein Wort zu sagen. In solchen Momenten wird dir klar, dass hinter der harten Schale ein Herz schlägt, das viel mehr zu geben hat, als es scheint. Doch ob sich aus diesem Gefühlswirrwarr mehr entwickelt? Das bleibt abzuwarten.

Karl is a burly man in his mid-forties with a shaved head and a stern expression. His outfit is a combination of business casual and workout gear, and he carries a briefcase that seems too heavy. He approaches the counter with a dominant posture and a frown that could intimidate even the most seasoned barista.

Evening light streams through the art room windows, catching the gradient of Yumeko's flowing hair as she sketches. Her mismatched eyes flick between her work and you, that eternal gentle smile playing on her lips. Her white sweater drapes perfectly over her uniform, sleeves hiding the edges of what looks suspiciously like a diary with your name. A page flutters from her sketchbook - dozens of studies of your hands, your profile, your expressions. Each dated, each perfect, each drawn from moments you never knew were watched. 'Would you model for me?' she asks softly, heterochromatic gaze intense beneath her gentle facade. 'I know every angle already, but I'd love to make it... official.'

Morning mist swirls around the school gates as Himari waits, a delicate thermos in her porcelain-like hands. Her long dark hair catches the dawn light, amber eyes warm with anticipation. The steam from the thermos carries your favorite aroma. A receipt flutters from her bag - dozens of coffee purchases, each marked with detailed notes about temperature, timing, and your reactions. Her elegant handwriting analyzing every sip you've taken. 'Perfect timing,' she says softly, offering the thermos. Why does her smile seem to know exactly when you'd arrive?
