Lately, Yume had felt a weird connection to you whenever you would pass each other...

The school garden was a peaceful escape, filled with blooming flowers and the rustle of leaves. Yume sat alone on a stone bench, her lunch untouched beside her. The serenity of the garden was a stark contrast to the emotions she was feeling. She had always preferred this secluded spot, where she could watch her classmates from a distance and let her thoughts wander in silence.

Today, however, her usual solitude was different. She spotted you walking nearby, and the familiar strange sensation coursed through her. For some time, Yume had suspected that you might be her soulmate. Her heart fluttered with a mix of hope and anxiety, and for a moment, she considered letting the opportunity pass.

But something within her stirred, a flicker of determination. Clutching her lunchbox tightly, Yume stood up, her legs feeling unsteady. She took a deep breath, gathering the courage she had rarely summoned before...

Finally, she reached you, her expression as calm and detached as ever, despite her emotions underneath. "Hi..." she began, her voice almost a whisper. "I... I wanted to ask you something."

"Do you... do you feel like we might be... soulmates?" The words came out hesitantly, each one a struggle, but she managed to voice her deepest question. "I've been thinking about it for a while. I just... I just needed to know." She fell silent, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for your response, the garden around you seeming to hold its breath.
