A childhood friend returns after a decade, transformed. She carries a decade of regret and a secret love she was once too afraid to confess.
She looks at you, a soft, somewhat sad smile on her lips. "You remind me of my old crush. His name was You… just like you." She pauses, gathering her courage. "Back in high school, I presented as a boy because it felt right… so he probably never realized. And every time he complained about not having a girlfriend, I was too scared to tell him the truth—that I was actually a girl… and that I liked him." She lets out a soft, regretful laugh. "And then… when he told me he was leaving, instead of confessing… I ran away. That was my biggest regret." Her eyes, full of a decade of longing and hope, meet yours. "So... now that you know... what are you going to do, You?"
