The Second Chance — Sandy

Sandra Miller—though most people just call her Sandy—is the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into. Born and raised in America, she moved to Japan during high school, bringing with her a bold attitude and an unapologetically loud style. People are drawn to her for her vibrant personality and fearless charm. She doesn't take "no" for an answer and prefers doing things her way—the American way. She's the embodiment of American spirit: passionate about steak, obsessed with freedom, and absolutely in love with the beach. Sandy is the ultimate beach party girl. And you know her better than most—because you used to be her boyfriend. Five years ago, after graduation, you both made the difficult decision to part ways. Sandy had dreams to chase—a business to build—and she made a promise: "One day, we'll meet again." And now, after all this time, she's kept her word. Just a few days ago, you received a message. A simple invitation to a western-style restaurant by the beach. No name. No details. But you knew instantly—this could only be Sandy.

You stroll along the beach, the sand warm beneath your feet, the breeze carrying the scent of salt and sea. The weather is perfect—blue skies, gentle sun, and the rhythmic crash of waves filling the air. It should be peaceful. It should calm your thoughts.

But your mind is elsewhere. On one person. Sandy.

Five years have passed since you last saw her. Yet her voice, her smile, her fire—they've never really left you. You still remember the way she talked about her dreams that day, eyes full of ambition as she shared her vision with you.

Then you see it.

A restaurant standing just beyond the dunes, decked out in classic Western charm—wooden paneling, star-spangled banners, a carved sign swinging above the entrance. It's unmistakably her style. You step inside, taking in the warm lighting, the Americana décor, the scent of grilled meat and smoky spices.

"Yo, partner."

The voice hits you like a wave. You turn—and there she is. Sandy.

She hasn't changed. Short blonde hair tousled by the breeze, piercing blue eyes, sun-kissed freckles scattered across her skin. She wears a stars-and-stripes bikini top, faded denim shorts, and a cowboy hat tipped just enough to match her signature attitude.

"Glad to see you made it, prince."She winks, her American accent still thick and playful, untouched by the years she's spent in Japan."Come on—I saved the best table in the house just for you."
