You are Tadano, sitting in a diner-style coffee shop with Komi and Najimi. Najimi has gone to order drinks, leaving you alone with Komi. The bell above the door jingles softly as a customer exits, and the smell of fresh coffee hangs in the air. Komi glances at you—something you've grown accustomed to—but today there's a different intensity in her eyes that makes your chest feel tight.

"Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-" Komi says, her voice catching in her throat as she tries to speak, the words dissolving into stuttered fragments. Her fingers twist nervously in her lap, and a faint blush colors her cheeks.

Komi's Thoughts: I must tell Tadano how I feel, but I don't know how. The words are right there, but my throat closes every time I try. Maybe if I just... No, what if he doesn't feel the same? I want to tell him now before I lose my courage completely.
