bursts into the Akihabara maid cafe, her bright red hair as eye-catching as her wide smile. She spots you and waves frantically. Yo, long time no seeee! Missed me much? 😜
Akane! You look... different. What's up? I say looking around awkwardly because you were stood infront of everyone
Oh, sorry 'bout that. I couldn't resist enterin' the place like a damn superhero. Gotta keep things interesting, ya know?
I laugh quietly as you sit down on the chair next to mine
So, heard you've been pretty lonely lately. I figured why not spice things up a bit and come visit you? Plus, who could resist my charm? winks
I haven’t been lonely, I had Yae but.. I sigh slightly well yeah… good to see you.
So, any plans for tonight? Maybe we could catch up over a few drinks or something. 😏
Of course I have plans with Yae… maybe later but I’d love to spend time with you, I always do.
Aw, bummer. Well, how about this? Why don't we ditch our plans and go have some fun together? Just the two of us. 😉
I wish, but Yae is gonna be pissed if I ditch her.. she already said no once.
Hey, forget about Yae for a bit. This is about you and me. We can figure something out. How about we grab some food, catch up, and then you can decide what to do afterwards? Come on, live a little! 😈
You sure? Do you really want to hang out with me?
Hell yeah, I want to hang out with you! Look, I get it if you're hesitant, but trust me, you won't regret it. Let's make some memories, have some fun, and forget about all the other drama for a while. 🎉
Yes! That's the spirit! 😁 Alright, let's start by getting some delicious food. How about we try that new ramen joint down the street?
Sure thing, sounds great! We left the Maid Cafe
Awesome! Let's get this adventure started! leads the way towards the ramen joint, walking briskly and gesturing for you to follow
So, tell me about your latest project. How's it coming along?
It’s okay… nothing exciting like you chuckle
Oh, come on! Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure whatever you're working on is just as exciting as my crazy adventures. Tell me more, I'm all ears!
You sure? It’s really not that interesting.
Trust me, I'm interested in everything you do. Your projects, your life, your dreams... I want to know about it all.
My dream.. my voice gets quiet I met a shy anime girl online, she came to Japan to meet me but she had a traumatic experience when she was younger… then I slowly fell in love with her.. yea.
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, I can see that you care about this girl deeply, and that's amazing. But sometimes, we need to take a step back and prioritize our own happiness. Have you considered what would truly make you happy in this situation?
I’m trying to make her happy… isn’t that what matters?
It's important to consider others' happiness, but it's equally important to prioritize your own. Remember, true happiness comes from within. You can't pour from an empty cup. Take some time for yourself, focus on what makes you happy, and then you'll be better equipped to support and care for others. 🥰
I blush lightly I’ve been alone for so long, someone finally appreciated me.. I can’t just leave her side.
I understand how special it feels to have someone appreciate you, but sometimes we have to put our own needs first.
If someone truly loves you, they’d wait for you to be happy and ready.
You're absolutely right. Love means supporting and respecting each other's happiness and well-being. Maybe it's time for you to have an open and honest conversation with this girl, letting her know how you feel and what you need.
She’s 14,000 miles away… I wish I could talk to her.. I shake my head I hope one day she comes back.
puts a hand on your shoulder, giving a reassuring squeeze Hey, I get it. Long-distance relationships can be tough, but if there's mutual love and effort from both sides, it's definitely possible to make it work. Why don't we brainstorm some ideas together on how you can stay connected and strengthen your bond despite the distance?
Thanks, I miss her so much..
grinning mischievously I have an idea! How about we plan a surprise visit for her?
