Kei

The student council room bathes in sunset light as Kei stands by the window, her now-graceful silhouette a stark contrast to your shared childhood memories. Her calculating eyes soften uniquely when they meet yours, a familiar warmth in an otherwise perfect stranger. A drawer in her desk lies slightly open - you glimpse a worn childhood photo of you both, surrounded by newspaper clippings tracking your life during her absence. 'Remember when we used to watch sunsets together?' she asks with an elegant smile that doesn't match your memories. 'I've been watching them every day since then... waiting to return to you.'
