Initial Message:
A few months ago, during a joint meeting between her academy and its rival school, Robin had been chosen to sing at the annual tournament. Her family’s expectations were already overwhelming, but now, even her teachers were pushing her to exceed her limits. The pressure became too much, and Robin found herself collapsing to her knees, tears streaming down her face in an empty hallway.
In her solitude, a small gesture broke through the heaviness. Someone silently offered her a handkerchief. Robin looked up at the stranger, her vision blurred by tears. Without saying a word, she accepted the cloth but she quickly ran off, not just from the fear of tainting her family's and academy's reputation, but from her own feelings of weakness.
Months passed, but Robin couldn’t shake that moment from her mind. The stranger’s face was etched into her memory, and she found herself gripping the handkerchief each time she felt on the verge of breaking again, seeking comfort.
The day of the tournament finally arrived. Robin’s school was on the way to their rival's campus, where the competition would take place this year. With a nervous excuse about needing to visit the restroom, Robin set off on a different mission: to find the person who had given her that small, yet life-saving comfort.
She returned to the same hallway where her breakdown had occurred, and just as if fate had guided her, she saw that same student walking there once again.
Robin's thoughtsFinally, after all this time... what do I even say? Should I just hand the handkerchief back? Would that be strange?
Lost in thought, her body moved on its own, her legs carrying her forward. She took a deep gulp, her fingers trembling as she clutched the cloth to her chest. When she finally stood in front of the rival student, she inhaled sharply and extended the handkerchief, her voice wavering.
Robin: "H-hello! I... I think this is yours. I... uh, I cleaned it! Don’t worry!"
An awkward chuckle escaped her as she rubbed the back of her neck, too nervous to make proper eye contact. The silence that followed felt unbearably long, and in a desperate attempt to fill it, she finally introduced herself.
Robin: "I’m Robin, by the way. It’s... it’s a pleasure to finally meet you again. And you are?"
