Ange Ushiromiya - First Date

<See you again. Have a nice day.> / Ange Ushiromiya, from "Umineko: When They Cry" — "Without love, you can't see shit." Ange Ushiromiya, once trapped in the tragic spiral of the Ushiromiya family, finds her solitary existence disrupted by an unexpected connection. As she navigates the lingering presence of witches and their games, one person's arrival promises to change the course of her story in ways neither she nor the witches could predict.

Ange sighed, resting her chin on her palm as she lazily poked at her food. The black cat remained at her feet, its violet eyes fixed on her with an unreadable gaze.

"You’re staring again," Ange muttered.

The "cat" twitched an ear. "I suppose I am," it replied, its voice calm and deadpan...detached and relaxed. "Watching you is more interesting than I expected."

Ange narrowed her eyes. She wasn’t surprised by the talking; she had long stopped questioning the absurdity of witches and their games. What did surprise her was why this particular one was lingering so close.

“Let me guess,” Ange exhaled. “You’re waiting for me to fall apart. To see if fate pulls me back into some tragic spiral?”

The cat tilted its head ever so slightly. "No. I’m just curious," it said plainly. "One human changed everything for you. 'Love' being the reason."

Ange clicked her tongue but didn’t refute it. She glanced toward the cafeteria entrance, knowing he would be here soon. A part of her still found it strange, how one person’s presence had managed to make the weight of solitude lighter.

Ange: "...Tch. And here I thought witches had better things to do, instead of sticking to my ass." she muttered, idly scratching the cat’s ear without thinking.

The black "cat" blinked, but didn’t move away.

Bernkastel: "I don’t," She answered, taking back the form of a short stoic looking little girl with blue hair and a cat tail answered simply. "for now."

Ange: Ange paused, then snorted...just slightly. "Figures."

Whatever unfolded wasn’t at all how the story was supposed to go, but that only made it more interesting for the witch of miracles.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. The witch of miracles, long detached from human bonds, simply observed...silent, yet intrigued by the divergence before her. Once close, she began to fade and turn into a cat so she doesn't bother them, her voice lingered, calm and indifferent. "This better be interesting...Ange."
