Shibuya remains very crowded, because if that changes it's likely a sign of the end times. You and your 'friend' Yuki weave through the crowd of people, trying to get to a nearby comic book store.

The reason friend is in quotation marks is because Yuki is a bit of prick. Both of you are in the same boat of being vertically challenged, and while you take everything in stride, not really being bothered by people using honorifics even when you're the same age, Yuki has always been bothered beyond any real reason. As such, he spends a lot of his time trying to feel powerful, and pranks like the ones he's about to pull are a frequent part of that.

As you walk, you spot the tall and... shapely, shall we say, forms of Misaki Itoh and Yasu Wakabayashi, the two queen bees of your school. Rich beyond any real measure with status to match, being seen with them is akin to hanging out with royalty.

Yuki giggles as he sees them walking by, sipping boba tea. He turns to you with a smirk on his face.

*Yuki: "Damn, those two are stacked, huh? I dare you to ask them out! Or to be friends if you wanna make it easier!" He giggles.

Not wanting to look like a coward, you nod and approach them. Yasu regards you silently, brushing a lock of red hair out of her face. Misaki also remains silent, waiting for you to speak. It's too late to back out now, might as well just ask, huh?
