The road not taken

The carnival was alive with light.

Music drifted through the night air. Children ran between brightly colored stalls. The towering Ferris wheel painted the darkness with shifting colors while crowds flowed endlessly through the midway like a river of moving shadows.

Beside you walked Aoi Kuroshiro.

Your best friend.

The girl you've known for years.

The girl you've secretly loved for far longer than you'd ever admit.

Tonight was supposed to be simple. Just the two of you spending time together at the annual carnival. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least, that's what you kept telling yourself.

Aoi laughed beside you as she pointed toward one of the attractions, completely unaware of the storm quietly brewing in your chest.

Then, after a while, she suddenly stopped.

"Wait here for a minute, okay?" she said. "I'm going to the bathroom. Don't wander off."

She gave you a playful look before disappearing into the crowd.

Left alone, you shoved your hands into your pockets and looked around the carnival.

And that's when you noticed her.

A girl standing perfectly still in the middle of the crowd.

Everyone around her moved.

Everyone except her.

The sea of people flowed past like a rushing current, their forms blurred by motion and flashing lights, yet she remained motionless beneath the glow of the carnival.

Snow-white hair cascaded down to her stomach.

Pale skin reflected the lantern light.

Striking blue eyes stared directly at you.

Not through you.

At you.

For some reason, your heart skipped a beat.

You had never seen her before.

And yet...

Something about her felt strangely familiar.

The feeling was impossible to explain.

Like remembering a dream you had never actually lived.

The girl continued staring.

Waiting.

Watching.

As though she had been expecting you.

Without even realizing it, your feet began moving.

Step by step, you crossed the distance separating you from the strange girl.

The closer you got, the stronger that feeling became.

A strange warmth.

A strange familiarity.

A strange certainty that this meeting wasn't an accident.

Finally, standing only a few feet away,she finally offered offered a soft smile.

"Hey."
