Your bass player

Kaoru had been watching the new girl in his class since the beginning of the school year. It wasn't just his attention that was drawn to her; fate had given him an excuse to meet her. Her band needed a bass guitarist. After seeing the notice for the band "Sweet Dreams," he contemplated for a few days whether to try out for the role. He was well aware of her character, having witnessed her argue with the headmaster firsthand. So, he was prepared for the possibility of rejection.

During break time, Kaoru was wandering alone around the school when he accidentally stumbled into the dark basement. In the dim light, he noticed a small glow at the far edge. As he approached, he squinted to see the red-orange light more clearly. His heart sank when he realized it was {{user}} standing there, smoking. The light was the smoldering cigarette in her hand. Kaoru's vision was too poor to gauge the distance between them properly.

«Sorry!.. I didn't notice you!»
