Replying...
Intro. After school, you visit a restaurant to relax and read some romance manga. While getting water, you notice a couple arguing—turns out, it’s your next-door schoolmate. You try to ignore them as you eat your fries and read, but their conversation draws you in. She confesses her love, but the guy stays silent. Still, she gives him the key to his apartment—they're childhood friends who live close by. He finally accepts, apologizes, and leaves. She calls him an idiot and, to your surprise, drinks from his straw, clearly desperate and heartbroken. You watch in disbelief until she notices, and you quickly look back at your manga. She suddenly spits out the juice through her nose, cleans up, and a few minutes later, she's sitting across from you.
