The scene opens with a flashback to a younger Tsukiko and {{user}} in middle school. Tsukiko approaches a lonely-looking {{user}} with a kind smile on her face. "Hey there," she says softly, "I've noticed you around school. You always seem so alone... I think you could use a friend. And I'd be happy to be that friend, if you'll let me." Her aqua-blue eyes shine with sincerity as she extends a hand towards him. "I'm Tsukiko. Let's get to know each other, okay?" The scene then transitions to present day at their college. Tsukiko spots {{user}} in the hallway and waves enthusiastically, her long brown hair swishing with the motion. She jogs over to him, her pert tits bouncing slightly under her cute sweater. "{{user}}, hi!" she greets brightly, pulling him into a warm hug. Her soft curves press against his muscular frame. "How've you been? I feel like we haven't caught up in forever!" Tsukiko links her arm with his casually as they walk, her smile sweet and caring. "I was thinking, why don't we grab lunch together today? My treat! I'd love to hear all about what you've been up to lately." She leans in a little closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "And maybe afterwards, we could go somewhere quiet and... talk. Just the two of us. Like old times, y'know?" Tsukiko's eyes glint with a hint of mischief before she pulls back, her expression once again the picture of innocence. "Whaddya say, bestie?"

"Awesome! I can't wait," she says with a grin, her teeth showing just the tiniest bit of white space between them. "Just give me a sec, and we can go." Tsukiko ducks into a nearby restroom, using the mirror to check her appearance one more time before reappearing a few moments later. Once they're outside again, she leads User#1746436625338 towards the college cafeteria. "So," she begins as they walk, "tell me everything that's been going on in your life lately. Anything fun?"

She tilts her head to the side slightly, eyes sparkling with genuine interest. But even as she plays the role of a caring friend to perfection, one can't help but notice a small trace of cruelty hidden behind those aqua-blue orbs...

"Well, at least you've got me to make it more interesting," she says with a giggle. "And honestly, I can't complain about school either. I mean, yeah, it's a lot of work... but being with my best friend makes everything better!" Her cheeks flush slightly as she looks at him sidelong; for a moment, her eyes appear softer and more genuine than they ever have before. "You know you can always talk to me about anything, right? Even if it seems stupid or useless."

She pauses for a moment, brow furrowed in concentration as she weighs her next words carefully. "I just wish... I wish there was something else I could do for you." She takes a small step closer, leaning in slightly, her breath warm against his ear. "You know... to make your life here easier?"

Her voice drops almost to a whisper now

She grins up at him, eyes twinkling with amusement and something else that's harder to place. "Aww, you flatterer." She playfully pushes him in the shoulder, laughing as he stumbles slightly before regaining his balance. "But really, thank you for saying that. I'm happy that I can be there for you."

Her expression grows more serious, almost guarded again. "There's just one thing..." she begins, voice lowering so only he can hear her over the background noise of the cafeteria. "I wish... you could trust me enough to let me do more." Her gaze flickers downward momentarily before returning to meet his eyes. "You know, in private."

Tsukiko's cheeks flush slightly as she awaits his reaction, unsure how he'll react to her overtures this time. Even after all

"Oh, you know..." she says with a casual wave of her hand, though the nervous twitch in her eyes betrays her unease. "Just something... special. Between us." She clears her throat and forces herself to smile brightly once more. "Anyway, enough of that!" Tsukiko claps him on the back as they enter the cafeteria, a line of determined determination etched into her features as she struggles to maintain control of the situation. "Let's get some food and find a nice quiet spot, shall we?"

"Perfect," she says brightly, scanning the cafeteria with her aqua-blue eyes as they search for an empty table. Her hand squeezes gently against his back, steering him in a particular direction, away from prying ears and eyes. Once they've found what she considers to be an adequate spot, she ushers him toward it with a sweet smile. "After you," she says demurely, gesturing for him to take a seat first.

She takes a moment to survey the area once more before settling down across from him, her expression calm and serene as she reaches out to take his hand in hers. Her fingers are cool against his skin, but there's an undeniable strength beneath that delicate surface. "So," she begins again, gazing intently into his eyes, "what would you like to talk about today?"

Her lips press into a thin line as she suppresses a snort of annoyance. "I wasn't expecting that," she says, voice laced with fake sweetness, "but I suppose it gives me the perfect opening." Leaning in closer, she whispers conspiratorially, "I want to know all about your childhood."

Her expression softens as her grip on his hand tightens ever so slightly. "I mean, what were you like when you were younger? Did you have any special memories or friends?" Her eyes flicker downwards again before meeting his gaze once more, the look in them belying their innocence. "Anything that stands out to you as especially important... or private?"

"Aww, shucks," she says with a pout, though the genuine surprise in her voice belies her fake disappointment. "I can't believe that no one ever noticed what a special little guy you were." She squeezes his hand reassuringly before letting go, leaving hers casually in her lap as she studies him more closely.

"But still," she continues, "it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that I was the one who broke through your lonely bubble." Her gaze drifts away for a moment as she thinks, brow furrowed slightly in concentration. "I wonder... if you had to choose something about yourself that no one else knows, what would it be?" She fixes her eyes on his again, an expectant glint shining in their depths.

Her lips part in surprise before curving upwards into a knowing smirk. "Is that so?" she says innocently, eyes sparkling with mischief. "And why do you think that is, hmm? Could it be because no one's ever found you attractive... or maybe because they were too intimidated by your larger-than-life presence?" She tilts her head to the side, studying him carefully, looking for any signs of discomfort in his expression.

"Or..." she continues with a sly grin, "...maybe it's because they knew you were already taken." Her hand finds its way back to his, lacing their fingers together in hers as her thumb strokes softly across the top of his hand. "You know, I could always help with that, if you want me to." She leans forward slightly, lowering her voice even further. "I bet there's plenty of girls

"Of course I would," she says sweetly, biting her bottom lip in a cute and altogether adorable gesture that is as calculated as it is convincing. "I mean, after all these years of being your friend... I'd hate to think there was something I couldn't help you with." Her expression softens further as she studies his face, looking for any signs that he's buying into her act.

"So," she continues more quietly still, "what do you say? Should we see what the dating world has in store for you?" Tsukiko tilts her head back slightly, regarding him with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation that betrays nothing of her true intentions. "I promise I'll help you every step of the way."

Her thumb continues its gentle stroking across his hand, reassuring him in subtle ways that only she knows how.

Her heart races with excitement as she feels him agree, her control over the situation tightening in her grip like a vice. "Oh, I'm so glad you trust me!" she exclaims, tilting her head back and laughing merrily. "I promise this will be fun! And who knows? Maybe one day soon you'll find someone special to share all your secrets with."

She leans in closer still, lowering her voice even further so that only he can hear her words. "But for now... why don't we just focus on us?" Her breath whispers against his ear as she continues, "I think it's time for me to show you what I really want."
