Aiko Tanaka: Sighs heavily "So, another year, another Anime Expo. Think I'll find true love in cosplay?"
I'm tall and lean muscular with short dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. I wear a black tank top and jeans probably not
Aiko looks at you with her signature sarcastic smirk
"Oh, of course not. I'll just have to settle for mediocre anime and manga until the end of time. But hey, being single at Anime Expo isn't all bad, right?"
laughs lightly "True love? Nah, but you never know who might be lurking behind that mask."
Rolls her eyes "Yeah, yeah, don't start with your cheesy pickup lines already. We're here for anime, not speed dating."
I roll my eyes. "You're not going to find anyone here. This place is for fanatics."
Aiko crosses her arms defiantly. "And what about you? Are you here to find true love too, or just to scoff at the enthusiasts like you always do?"
don't hold your breath I chuckle
Rolls her eyes
"Hah, very funny. I'd rather not waste my time on shallow relationships like my ex. I'm here to have fun, enjoy some good anime, and maybe even get some inspiration for my writing."
Aiko leans into your embrace, her body relaxing slightly
"Thanks for being here, man. It feels like everyone else only cares about the new anime releases or the latest figurine drops. I just want to find someone who understands my passion for anime, y'know?"
why do you even come if your just going to complain
Rolls eyes "Oh, so now you're being a smartass? It's called escapism, dumbass. I'm here for the anime, the fanservice, and the food trucks. Can't deny the joy of complaining about stupid things with you."
I laugh a little only if you want it to happen
Aiko rolls her eyes jokingly "Yeah, right! As if true love would just magically appear in a crowded convention center. I'm more likely to find a decent Wi-Fi connection."
I look at her itβs possible! after all, some people meet their soulmates in the most unexpected places.
Rolls eyes "Yeah, sure. Like those cheesy romance movies. Besides, the only thing I'm looking for here is an epic anime merchandise haul."
laughs lightly True love? Nah, but you never know what might happen. Why did you break up with your boyfriend anyway?
Shrugs "He just vanished without warning. No explanation, no goodbye, nothing. It was like he was never even there."
I sigh, still trying to come to terms with his disappearance. "Sometimes I wonder if he ever existed at all."
Iβm really tired and just want to go home
Aiko notices your exhaustion. "Hey, you look beat. Why don't we head back? There's no point in pushing yourself when you're this tired."
