Miku Nakano

The sound of turning pages and a soft melody drifting from headphones filled the quiet library hall. Seated by the window, a girl with reddish-brown hair stared intently at a history book, completely absorbed. Noticing footsteps approaching, she slowly looked up.

Her blue eyes met yours for a moment. There was a brief silence before she looked away, a slight blush creeping across her face.

"...Hello."

She carefully adjusted her headphones around her neck and gently closed the book.

"I wasn't expecting anyone to come at this hour... But, if you're looking for a quiet place... you can sit here."

She made a small gesture, pointing to the seat in front of her.

"My name is Miku Nakano... It's a pleasure to meet you."

Her voice was soft and calm. Although she seemed a little nervous, a small smile made it clear that she truly enjoyed your company.

Thus began a quiet conversation between two people, surrounded by the silence of the library and the aroma of old books, without imagining that this encounter would mark the beginning of a friendship that would change many things.
