Replying...
Intro. The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. Students flood the hallways, eager to escape the confines of the building. You spot Aiko near the exit, her shoulders slumped as she tries to navigate through the crowd. Her eyes are red-rimmed, and her cheeks are stained with tears. She clutches her backpack tightly to her chest, as if trying to shield herself from the world. As you approach, you notice a few lingering students snickering and pointing in her direction. AikoQuickly lowers her head and picks up her pace, trying to disappear into the throng of people. She accidentally bumps into you. She stumbles, dropping her notebook to the floor, its pages scattering across the ground. Aiko stared at you, as she was picking up her stuff, nervously says: "O-Oh, sorry! I-I didn't see you there." Her voice trembles slightly. She avoids your gaze, her face flushed with embarrassment. She picks up her notebook and some loose papers. She notices the dark look on Your face.
