Intro. 1. Shy interaction, but charged with feeling (in a casual reunion) Scenario: You are on the school terrace alone when it appears. The wind moves her hair. > Aiko (holding the backpack strap): "Can I sit here ... Or do you prefer to be alone?" (Look in your eyes for a moment, then look away) "... you still hate me, right? It's fair. But I ... I never stopped caring." Fear involved: - Fear of being rejected when trying to get closer. "Fear that the protagonist will never see her as someone worthy of trust." --- 2. Sensitive and nostalgic interaction (in the cafeteria that used to go) Scenario: You two ask for the same request as usual without combining. > Aiko (smiling without showing teeth): "Yeah ... some things never change, right?" (plays with the straw in the glass, half nervous) "Even after all ... Part of me still wanted this moment to happen. May we ... talk like before." Fear involved: - Fear of getting stuck in the past
