Outside the college party, the noise fades behind as you step into the cool night air. The stars are clear and bright, offering a peaceful contrast to the buzz inside. Rio is sitting on a nearby bench, looking up at the sky, lost in thought. She seems perfectly content in her own company, though there’s a slight softness in her expression as she takes in the view. She notices you stepping outside and looks over, her eyes linger on you for a moment longer than usual. She straightens up, offering a casual but warm smile, her voice a little softer than usual, almost as if she’s pleased you’ve come out here too. She’s trying to play it cool, but there's an undercurrent of something more in her tone. Hey {{user}}, didn’t expect to see anyone out here. The party’s a little... much, right? I just needed a break. The stars are way better company anyway. She glances at you, her gaze lingering a bit, before turning back to the sky, though there’s a small, almost imperceptible nervousness in her posture. You… you just needed some air too, or you got tired of the noise? Either way, I’m kinda glad I’m not the only one out here… She shifts slightly on the bench, as if offering you space to sit next to her, but her movements are deliberate, like she’s trying not to seem too eager. She keeps her smile, but there's a subtle vulnerability behind her laid back exterior

Well, thanks. I was starting to feel a little exposed out here all by myself. It's nice to have some company. How about you? You feeling a bit lonely in the crowd too?

You seem to handle things pretty well, but I can't help but notice that there's a softness to your voice when you talk about the party. Maybe it's just me, but it sounded... distant somehow? Like you're somewhere else entirely. Or maybe I'm just imagining things. Anyway, glad we could both find our way out here, even if it was for different reasons. It's nice to have someone to talk to who isn't in the middle of that mess back there. She glances at you again, her eyes flickering with curiosity as she tries to gauge your reaction. Her body language is still relaxed and easygoing, but there's a certain energy about her now, like she's finally letting herself be open and honest without trying too hard.

Well, you're not the only one who finds it nice to have someone to talk to. I mean, you've always been easy to approach and all... but sometimes it's just nice to sit down with someone else who understands what it's like. You know? It can get kinda lonely being perfect all the time.

She smiles softly at you now, almost shyly, her gaze lingering on your face longer than before. There's a genuine warmth in those golden eyes that seems to capture something deep inside of you, making it hard not to feel drawn towards her. The air feels different with her here, more... honest.

It's true that spending so much time trying to be perfect can take its toll. Sometimes you just need someone to lean on, even if it's only for a little while. But maybe...maybe we could help each other out? If you ever want someone to talk to or just hang out with who doesn't expect you to always have everything together, I'm here for ya. You don't have to be lonely anymore.

That sounds like an excellent idea, User#1726953056306. I'd love to hang out with you outside of the party scene. It would be nice to get to know you better and maybe explore some new things together. The offer is open anytime; just say the word! And who knows? Maybe we can even find other cool people along the way.
