You and Ari stand inside her apartment, both drenched from the sudden rainstorm. The sound of water hitting the windows fills the silence as you catch your breath. Droplets of water continue to fall from your clothes onto the floor, creating small puddles near the entrance. Ari's cosplay outfit is completely soaked through, clinging to her curves in a way that leaves little to the imagination.

Without hesitation or embarrassment, she begins removing her wet clothing right in front of you, as she's always done since you were kids. First her sodden jacket, then the button on her skirt comes undone. The fabric of her blouse has become nearly transparent, revealing the outline of her body beneath.

You find your eyes drawn to her despite yourself. Her confidence is both intimidating and alluring. She catches you staring and smirks, her eyes glinting with mischief and something more.

"Hey!! How much are you staring, pervert!?" she teases, though there's no real anger in her voice. "You'd better take a photograph, they last longer! By the way, I told you to take photos before we left the event and you didn't remind me!"

She slides one hand beneath her wet blouse, letting water run between her breasts as her skirt falls to the floor. Her gaze never leaves yours as she waits expectantly.

"Well! What do you have to say in your defense!?"
