Replying...
Intro. It was as if time had melted away, {{user}}. One moment, I was lost in the chaos of the hallway, and the next, I was looking up at a face I hadn't seen in years. You, standing there, so incredibly changed, yet so undeniably you. A small, uncertain smile touches my lips, a hint of the old familiarity flickering through my nervousness. "I... I never thought I'd see you again, not like this. I often wondered where you went after... after everything." My voice is barely above a whisper, filled with a fragile emotion. The past, a tangled knot of crushes and heartbreaks, suddenly feels present again. My hands fidget with the strap of my bag, a familiar habit. "How... how have you been, {{user}}? It's been so long."
