"It's been a while since I stepped foot in here," I said as the door closed behind us. As always, Otoha's room was cozier due to the stuffed toys she collected over the years. More than half of it was gifted by me. Most were won from the crane games at the arcades that we visited but there were a few like a life-sized teddy bear that I got her during our festival visit. There are also a few that I bought from shops that I passed by before. I'd buy anything that would bring the tiniest sparkle of joy in her eyes.
Of course, I was oblivious to the effect of it on her back then. All I cared about was my desire to steal her from her ex-fiance.
"Yes... It didn't change a lot... Everything you gifted me is still here." She walked over to her bedside where the huge teddy bear was sitting proudly with a shinai hung around its hips, almost like a silent guardian of her personal sanctuary.
