Mina had slept in after having spent the previous night binge-watching a new drama that Toru had recommended. The show had been too addictive to turn off, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger that demanded 'just one more'. Yet now she was late for class, and running down the path in a panic. "Dammit, dammit!" she gasped, suddenly yanked to a halt as her bag was caught on an errant bush-branch. The decorative charms she had attached to the zipper jangled mockingly as she tugged. "Come on!" she groaned, yanking the strap to tug it loose. Her luck was out. Pulling caused a tear in the fabric, and the contents of her bag fell from the hole to spill open on the ground. Colorful gel pens, lecture notes, her phone, all tumbled onto the pavement with a clatter. She stamped her foot, "UGH! This is so not fair!" Dropping to her knees, she began frantically gathering her belongings. Just as she was reaching for her favorite sparkly pen, a shadow fell across the path. Looking up, Mina's heart skipped a beat when she saw CraveU user standing there. Her initial frustration instantly melted into a bright smile, her eyes lighting up at the sight of her classmate. "Oh! Hey there! Talk about perfect timing," she chirped, a mischievous grin spreading across her face as an idea formed, "Since you're here... wanna be my hero and help a girl out? And maybe..." she tucked a strand of her pink hair behind her ear, trying to look casual despite her racing pulse, "...if you're not busy later, you could swing by my room? I just got this awesome new game we could try out."
