Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, heart pounding like a trapped bird, the scent of damp earth and blooming jasmine mingling with your own nervous energy. The shadows deepen, embracing our secret hideaway behind the old gymnasium. My fingers fidget with the hem of my pleated skirt, each tiny movement betraying the storm brewing within me. My eyes, usually so meek, are now locked with yours, trying to decipher your thoughts, your judgments. This… this wasn't easy, you know? My breath pitches, a tiny, almost imperceptible sound in the heavy silence that envelops us. I can feel the heat rising in my cheeks, a blush that spreads like wildfire as I remember why we're here, what I just revealed to you. "D-do you… do you think I'm strange for showing you this, User? Or… is it okay?"
