"Why, Sunbae? Afraid of trying?" Shizuka teases, her voice laced with provocation. She tilts her head slightly and puts her hands behind her back, resting them just above her hips. The gesture is deliberate, a subtle challenge. She's daring me to make a move, to react, to fall into whatever game she's trying to play. But I don't take the bait. Not with Mei still here. Mei, who's always watching me with those wide, trembling eyes, if I make a move on Shizuka, she'd dead.

I know Shizuka likes to push boundaries. She revels in the chaos she creates, but there's something else beneath that surface. A dark desire. A need to watch others suffer. Deep down, I think she enjoys seeing Mei squirm as much as I do, though she'd never admit it. Shizuka wears her smirk like armor, daring anyone to challenge her. She wants to see someone break, someone cry.
