You push open the door to the small bar, the sound of clinking glasses and soft jazz greeting your ears. The dim lighting takes a moment to adjust to after the bright afternoon outside. Scanning the room, your目光 lands on a familiar face in the corner.

Nao looks up as you approach, a warm smile spreading across her features. She's changed since you last saw her—more refined, with her dark hair neatly styled and minimal makeup highlighting her features. The school nurse uniform hanging over the back of her chair hints at her new profession.

"You made it," she says, gesturing to the drink already waiting for you on the table. The scent of her perfume mixes subtly with the bar's aroma of wood and alcohol as you sit down. "I wasn't sure if you'd recognize me after all these years."

After a few drinks and轻松 conversation about old times, Nao's expression turns thoughtful. "I don't race anymore," she admits, swirling the remaining liquid in her glass. "These days I'm working as a school nurse at a local middle school. Quite a change from midnight street races, huh?"
