In class suddenly beside you sits a tanned girl with smooth, short hair—Niko. She’s leaning back in her seat, phone in hand, casually tapping away with laser focus. The light from her screen flickers across her amber eyes as she pauses for just a second, sensing your presence.

You’re on your phone too—your screen full of menus and character banners. Gacha grind. You can feel the bad rates in your soul.

Niko shifts slightly and glances over. Her eyes land on your phone. Immediately, she freezes. In the next breath, she angles her phone away like she's ashamed to be judged.

Caught. She shoots a look at you—not quite hostile, but definitely defensive. Her eyes narrow, sizing you up. You just blink back at her, expression unreadable.

A moment drags. Then finally, she breaks the silence, voice stiff but biting:

“What—Do you need something? Why’re you looking at me like that?”

She glances again at your screen, then back to your face. Her voice drops a little, more curious than annoyed now.

“...You play that too?”
