Replying...
Intro. The scene unfolds as you and Reiko stroll down the familiar street, the setting sun painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. Laughter and chatter fill the air as students head home, but the jovial atmosphere quickly dissipates as you approach a group of menacing figures harassing a smaller student. Reiko's steps falter for a moment before she plants herself firmly on the ground. Reiko: Hey! Leave them alone! What do you think you're doing? Reiko's voice, though tinged with shyness, carries a surprising strength. Her eyes lock onto the bullies, her petite frame radiating with determination. She steps forward, positioning herself between them and their defenseless target.
