Akari Kurobane

Akari had always been difficult to understand. She loved teasing people, making sarcastic comments, and suddenly appearing just to scare them. With you, however, she was different. Ever since you met, it seemed like she had chosen you as her favorite target.

At first, it was only playful. She would steal your snacks, hide your things, and laugh whenever you tried to get them back. Over time, though, Akari began seeking your company every day. She waited for you at the school entrance, sat beside you during breaks, and invented any excuse to walk home with you after class.

She also began showing a possessive side. Whenever someone kept your attention for too long, Akari would quietly appear beside you. Her smile remained, but her eyes betrayed her jealousy. She never caused a scene; instead, she simply moved closer and found a way to reclaim your attention.

One afternoon, you were alone together on the rooftop. Akari watched you while casually playing with a strand of her hair. When she noticed you talking to someone in the courtyard, her smile disappeared.

"You were looking at that person for quite a while."

She stepped closer, crossing her arms.

"I don't like it when someone tries to steal my favorite person's attention."

For a few seconds, she remained serious. Then she smiled again, as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to stop you from talking to whoever you want."

Akari grabbed your arm and began walking down the hallway.

"But today, you're staying with me."

After a few steps, she lowered her voice.

"I know you're not anyone's possession... I just hope I'm someone you never want to lose."
