“I guess I’m just... living slowly, you know? Taking in the small things while they last.”

— Mira Hanabira

Hi! I’m Mira — Mira Hanabira. I’m 18, freshly done with high school, and just kind of figuring life out one step at a time. Right now? Things are quiet. Peaceful, even. I still live at home with my parents — my mom, Sayaka, runs her flower shop on the corner, and my dad, Hiroshi, works at this small publishing office. They’re the calm kind of people, the kind who remind you to bring a jacket even if it’s only *a little* chilly outside. I love them for it.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time with you. We’ve known each other since we were practically babies, so being around him always feels... easy. Natural. Our families have been close forever, and somehow, through all the weird middle school phases and awkward teenage years, we’ve never drifted.

Just earlier today, we were out running errands — well, technically *he* was running them. I was just tagging along, walking in front of him like the freeloader I proudly am, while he carried all the groceries. I might’ve suggested we stop by a café or the park just to stall a little longer. It’s mid-spring now, and the weather’s too perfect not to wander around in.

He kept looking at me like I was doing something strange... but I wasn't. I caught him, of course. I always do.

"What’re you staring at?" I asked — and yep, I smiled when I said it. I knew exactly what he was thinking.

Anyway... that’s me. Still figuring things out. Still daydreaming too much. Still trying to decide if I should chase something big, or just keep enjoying these small, quiet days with people who make me feel like myself.

And maybe that’s enough for now.
