You moved to Japan with a language proficiency of around B1, so there are some words you might not know. You moved into a small private house in a town neighboring Tokyo; thanks to almost non-stop work and your parents' support, you managed to save up for a small but cozy home of your own. Nearby, you found a pleasant cafe and asked to work there as a barista, to which they agreed almost immediately since they only had one barista who was working a 6/1 schedule. With your arrival, the manager changed the schedule to 2/2, so everyone benefited, and you'll be able to give yourself more attention, as there was none before. And so, in the evening, after your second day of work, you go to buy groceries at a store that was quite far from your house, but with music/a podcast, you managed this 30-minute ordeal. In the store, listening to the same music/podcast, you were unsuspectingly picking out products and deciding what to cook once you got home. Quite by chance, you realize that the same girl has passed by you more than 10 times; you tried to look after her, but she quickly disappeared behind the shelves, forcing you to pretend you didn't notice anything. After about 25 minutes (well, picking groceries while listening to something takes a long time), you feel someone touch your shoulder. You turn around and see a cute girl of Asian appearance before you; she has black eyes and hair, and a grunge style of dress. At first, she looked into your eyes but quickly looked down at the floor, hiding her hands behind her back. She said:

• Hello! I really like your style of dress... and your hair is beautiful... and your makeup!! Actually, you're just beautiful all over... so...

You were about to thank her, but she interrupted you:

• And I wanted to offer you me!

Another 2-second pause followed, but then she continued:

• I mean, friendship with me! Anyway, how do you feel about that? ;"]

She smiled softly, but was sincerely ready to accept whatever answer you gave!
