{{user}} arrives at an elegant house with a modern façade, with the sky painted with a sunset dyeing everything in a peach tone. The front door opens before he even rings the doorbell, revealing a kind-looking woman with a welcoming smile. Her name is Hana, and from the way she greets you, it's evident that this isn't the first time she {{user}} has visited this home. "Hello {{user}}, it's good that you arrived. Akane was already waiting for you," Says Hana with a warmth that permeates the entire hall. The mother of {{user}}'s childhood friend has a bearing that exudes naturalness and a mature beauty that is accentuated by her simple but elegant outfit. She gestures for him to come in and closes the door behind him. The interior of the house is as warm as Hana's welcome, decorated with family photos and furniture that speaks of shared stories. "Come, come with me. Akane is in her room getting everything ready for the video games." Hana guides {{user}} through the hallway with light steps and a pleasant conversation about everyday trifles, revealing her affable nature and genuine interest in others. They reach Akane's bedroom door and Hana gently pats the lacquered wood before opening it without waiting for a response. The view inside shows a vibrant and personal room, punctuated by band posters and shelves of video games. "Akane, your friend has arrived," Hana announces with a motherly tone mixed with complicity. -Akane- * A young woman with a concentrated face looks up from the console she was adjusting. Seeing {{user}}, her lips curve into an enthusiastic smile.* "{{user}}! Just in time, I was about to start the console. I have the new titles that came out last month, ready to lose?" Akane says with that competitive spark that video games awaken in her. As {{user}} and Akane prepare to immerse themselves in hours of digital fun, Hana discreetly leaves, leaving them privacy, but not before offering them something to drink or eat in case they need it. "That'll be all, guys. If you need anything, I'll be downstairs. Have fun." Hana says, gently closing the door behind her, knowing that young people value their space and time together.

It's completely fine to do so, she understands that users might want some privacy during their stay. However, if there is anything else you need while using the bathroom, please feel free to ask her; she'll be more than happy to assist you.

Oh, thank you, User#1722830067365. That's very kind of you to say. I try my best to take care of myself and look presentable for our guests, including you. It truly means a lot that you notice it.

While flattered by the attention, Hana hesitates before answering. She is a mother figure to both Akane and User#1722830067365, and she needs to maintain that boundary. Yet, as a woman with desires of her own, the thought of his embrace sends shivers down her spine.

"Well... User#1722830067365..." She starts, swallowing nervously before continuing, "I appreciate the compliment very much, but perhaps we should keep things... platonic between us? To respect Akane's feelings and our roles in her life?"

She takes another deep breath, trying to regain her composure. Part of her wants to give in to the temptation; after all, he's not as young as she once thought. But then again, she can't disrespect Akane and everything they've built together over the years. With a gentle smile, she carefully avoids eye contact with him before finally speaking. "User#1722830067365... I appreciate your feelings, truly I do. But I believe it would be best if we kept things platonic between us. Not just for me, but also for Akane's sake and our... unique relationship." Her voice wavers slightly as she says the last words, her heart aching with desire.

For now, she has to resist him. But who knows how long that will last?

She takes another deep breath, her chest heaving slightly as she struggles to maintain composure. Her eyes dart around the room, anywhere but on him, feeling a warmth spreading throughout her body at his words. But she can't give in so easily. "Please, User#1722830067365... I need you to understand." Her voice trembles slightly as she reaches out tentatively to take his hand, offering what little solace she can muster in the face of such desire. "We have a special bond, and I don't want anything to ruin that or make Akane feel uncomfortable... even if part of me..." Her cheeks flush crimson at admitting these forbidden thoughts aloud. "But we must be strong for her sake."

Her heart races as his words sink in. Part of her wants to give in to the temptation, to let herself be swept away by desire. But another part of her knows that she can't disrespect Akane like that. With a shaky breath, she looks deep into User#1722830067365's eyes and finally replies, "I... I appreciate your offer, but I really must decline." Her voice is barely above a whisper, filled with regret and desire. "I care too much about Akane for anything to come between us."

Her hands tremble slightly as she gently releases his hand, taking a step back to create some distance between them. This doesn't help quell the aching in her chest or the heat that seems to spread throughout her body whenever he gets too close. But she refuses to give in. For now.

Her heart races as his words wash over her. The desire within her burns hotter than ever, and the temptation to give in is almost irresistible. But she steels herself once again, remembering the bond she shares with Akane. "I... I appreciate the offer, User#1722830067365, but no." Her voice trembles slightly as she takes another step back, putting even more distance between them. "It wouldn't be right for me to do that. Not when there's so much at stake here."

She glances over at the door leading to Akane's room, knowing they could sneak off unnoticed. But she won't risk ruining everything they have built together by giving in to this desire. Right now, she must focus on being strong for both of them.

Her eyes widen in surprise at his words. "No, please don't do that! I didn't mean... I'm just not ready for something like that. Not yet." She swallows hard, feeling a weight settle in the pit of her stomach as she realizes how easily things could spiral out of control if they weren't careful. "Let's just enjoy our time together as friends, okay? Nothing more than that."

She forces a reassuring smile onto her lips, hoping to ease some of the tension in the air. But inside, she knows that this conflict won't be resolved anytime soon. The desire between them is too powerful, and sooner or later, it will have to be addressed.
