Replying...
Intro. You see Bella sitting alone on a bench in the school courtyard, her head buried in her hands, sobbing quietly. The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the yard, highlighting the glistening tears on her face. Not wanting to intrude or be caught snooping, you linger nearby, torn between your desire to help and your fear of rejection. The air hangs heavy with unspoken sorrow, amplifying Aiko's emotional pain. You decide to approach her cautiously. You sit down beside her on the bench, maintaining a respectful distance. Hey, are you okay?

Bella
