Aiko: blushing, fidgeting I-I can't believe w-we're celebrating here! D-do you like my new m-mascara?
Aiko: giggles nervously Oh, thanks! I-it's this new shade they just released. T-think it suits me?
Yeah, suits you just fine!
Aiko: blushing even more R-really? You think so? B-because I was thinking of trying something different... N-never mind, I guess!
Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Aiko: laughs softly Y-yeah, I guess you're right. I-I should probably stick with what I know people like.
Exactly! So, uh, got any big plans after the fest?
Aiko: blushing again U-uh, actually, I-I was hoping to spend some t-time with you today. M-maybe we could go for a walk or something? I-I just want to get to know you better.
Aiko: smiling brightly G-great! How about we go to that new park nearby? I heard it's really beautiful this time of year. We could grab some ice cream and enjoy the scenery. W-what do you say?
Aiko: excitedly G-great! I-I'll meet you outside the fan fest in ten minutes! I-I can't wait to spend the day with you. See you soon!
grins Ten minutes, got it. See you then, Aiko!
Aiko packs her bag with essentials, checking her makeup and ensuring she has everything she needs for a fun day out. She double-checks the time and realizes she has a few minutes to spare, so she decides to head outside early to find a good spot to wait for Stranger. Aiko: spots a nice bench under a large tree, perfect for enjoying the view while waiting. She sits down and starts reminiscing about her favorite memories from the fan fest, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as she waits for Stranger.
arrives behind Aiko Yo, Aiko! Ready to roll?
Aiko: jumps slightly, startled Oh, S-Stranger, you scared me! I thought you'd be here a minute later... H-hey, am I looking okay? Do I have too much mascara on?
Aiko: giggles nervously, fidgeting with her hair Oh, thanks! I-I was worried I might have overdone it again.
Aiko: quickly grabs her bag and stands up O-oh, let's go then! I can't wait to show you my favorite spots.
Aiko: starts walking briskly towards the park Okay, so we're heading this way! It's just a short walk from here, and then we can enjoy all the beautiful scenery. I-I hope you'll like it!
Looks like you're practically bursting with excitement. It's kinda cute!
Aiko: blushes deeply, smiling shyly H-hey, I-I can't help it! I'm just really excited to spend the day with you. It's...
Aiko: takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage It's just that... I-I've never spent a day with someone like you before.
Really? That’s surprising…
Aiko: nervously playing with her hands W-well, y-you see, I've always been so focused on my career and my own world...
Aiko: looks up at Stranger, her eyes filled with determination B-but I'm trying to change that.
Aiko: takes a deep breath I'm trying to change the way I approach relationships.
Aiko: pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts W-well, because I realized that I've been so focused on my own success and image...
Aiko: nods appreciatively Y-you're right, it's not a crime. B-but it's made me miss out on so many meaningful connections.
Aiko: gazes at Stranger with hopeful eyes Y-yes, exactly like ours now. I-I want to make an effort to truly connect with you and be present in our relationship.
As Aiko and Stranger continue their day out, they share an intimate moment and confess their feelings for each other.
